Hmm, i probably won’t say common, but it’s not rare either.

To do cross stitch on clothes you need to either use soluble plastic canvas or something called waste canvas, which is “easy” to tear away after, as clothes don’t have the grid that aida, linen and evenweave have ( the there types of fabric, normally used for cross stitch).

Spot on! :)

So yes the left one is Oscar Wilde. So far I haven’t read any of his works, but I do plan on reading his collected works next year, or the year after.

Perfect timing!

It looks great!

Thank you!

It’s a Zweitgart 32 count evenweave in the vinted collection. I don’t remember if they call it vinted sky or vinted blue.

Wow! That is so pretty!

Thank you so much for sharing that amazing piece with us!

I ended up with these Lundhags

When I think about it, there has been a few issues.

There was a seem that ripped on the first pair, but I just got a replacement under warranty.

On an other pair the velcro in the waistband got loose, but that is easy to just fix myself.

But the thighs (which have been the problem in my previous “work pants”) are holding up very nice. So overall I like them

It is awesome!

It’s a lucky friend you have :)

Is Digimon still a thing?! I haven’t heard about them in like 20 years :D

But yes a darker blue would have been more like the sprite, but it looks fine and I think anybody who are into Digimon can see who it is :)

I have 2 weeks off from work and weirdly few plans, so I have had waaaay to much time to stitch! :D

All progress is good progress!

It looks great!

Thank you!

There is definitely somethings I’m gonna need from there!

But I guess the best solution to my problem is to just earn enough money doing my day job, to start my own embroidery fabric store, so I can buy/sell exactly what I feel is missing in the EU market 😂

I accidentally lied a bit, I know 1 not UK store that has a somewhat decent stock of fabrics, and it is stickteufelchen from your first link, (thank whatever power in the universe for in-browser translation, as i did not pay attention to German in school)

They have quite fast shipping to Denmark and carry mostly zweigart which is my preferred brand, so they are my preferred EU fabric store.

But if you compare them to Lakeside Needlecraft they do end up seeming a bit bland. https://www.lakesideneedlecraft.co.uk/lakeside-needlecraft-fabric-221-c.asp

From a quick look, Rico doesn’t seem to have anything stickfelchen doesn’t have, but thank you so much for looking it up for me!

And I look forward to having time to get a good look at lmaa and see if there is anything interesting! Thanks for the link!

To be honest, so is mine xD

It might help, if I tell you, that those few petals are pretty much the only thing I have done above the halfway point of the pattern. So there is a lot of space to imagine something :)

Not blowing petals, but yes, it is Sakura (or cherry blossoms for those of us with less culture)

Let’s hope the dice will tell you soon ;) (My rotation between projects is dice based)

Thank you! I should show it when im working on it on Wednesdays, or at the very latest when it is finished :)

I hope until you finish it! :D

Uhh that looks awesome!

And very nice progress in a week!

Needlelot is just a genius designer!

I don’t necessarily want to stitch all her designs, but they are all beautiful

I read it for the first time earlier this year.

And it its a really well written and interesting book, but also insanely scary as it is so realistic. With what’s going on in certain countries at the moment, it is clear how easy the Gilead could arise in the real world.
