Isn't it sweet? Perfect for sewing room mistakes.
I haven't done a cross stitch since I was 12, but I knew I had to do this one as soon as I saw the fantastic kit from Subversive Cross Stitch. If you look closely you can see where I goofed a couple rows, but I'm not bothered in the slightest. It was quick and fun, and it perfectly expresses how I feel every time I have to pick out a seam or scrape glue off my iron.
If you buy the kit, you should know the flower thread comes in red only; I added blue and purple for some variety. There's a ton of selection in the SCS shop, so if you like some snark with your craft, it's easy to get stitching!

ReplyDeletethe original photo i saw of this had a bunch of these woven disks sewn together to make a wall hanging/rug.
So glad you like! Thanks for sharing the link - I've been thinking a lot about weaving lately. Lots of memories from childhood doing this kind of thing. Could be fun.
