Learn the basics of cross-stitch with the step by step guide

February 27, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

Cross-stitch is a type of embroidery that has been around for centuries and is still popular today.

It involves using a needle and thread to create a pattern by making small X-shaped stitches on fabric. Cross-stitch can be used to decorate clothing, home decor, or even create intricate works of art.

While it may seem daunting to those new to the craft, cross-stitch is actually a relatively simple and easy-to-learn technique that can be done by anyone with some patience and practice.

Craftbits.com has a new article, where they explore the basics of cross-stitch, including the materials needed, how to read a pattern, and how to create the stitches themselves.

Whether you’re a beginner or just looking to brush up on your skills, this guide will help you get started on your cross-stitching journey.

DIY Shirt Extender – Sewing Pattern

I like having a little extra coverage when I wear leggings, but I could never find a cute top that was just the right length. So I decided to make this Easy Sew Shirt Extender! This is so simple to sew and is an easy sewing project for beginners. It is easy to layer under your shirt or top of choice and I added some lace trim to mine for a fancier look. You can mix and match colors and fabrics to suit your needs!
