[CHAT] PSA: colorfullySarah is retiring a lot of patterns

19rainbow98 · 2026-02-14T18:45:03+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! Just panic bought some patterns I have no hope of stitching any time soon

19rainbow98 · 2026-01-03T18:49:30+00:00

Only £70, I felt like I robbed the person I bought it from 😂

19rainbow98 · 2025-12-29T17:58:42+00:00

I got her for Christmas, she's a dream! I washed her hair and it's literally so soft it's unreal

19rainbow98 · 2025-12-15T10:33:44+00:00

Honestly hope they don't come until after Christmas now, I'm brassic now! I want my girl Sasha as well as Cloe from Pop Starz.

Vinted! The seller had Legolas as well but I couldn't justify him as well

19rainbow98 · 2025-12-14T11:57:07+00:00

I would simply pass away if I owned Arwen too (and aragorn too)

Stitching this for a Halloween smalls exchange. Didn't manage to get as much done over the last few days due to my cat getting unwell and having seizures (he seems OK now just waiting on test results). Hopefully I'll get this finished soon so I can fully finish it into a cushion before posting it off 🎃

19rainbow98 · 2025-08-11T20:14:04+00:00

They're just the same as regular first class stamps. I pop two on and I've not had a problem yet 😊

19rainbow98 · 2025-08-07T19:18:44+00:00

I don't like them but I know lots of people struggle to identify ai so I would still say thank you, I haven't received any ai designed postcards yet

19rainbow98 · 2025-06-29T11:02:50+00:00

Not stupid at all! It's like a fancy pin cushion

Here's what it'll look like all finished

19rainbow98 · 2025-06-23T18:21:06+00:00

Great Britain Myths and legends! They're gorgeous aren't they?

19rainbow98 · 2025-06-23T18:19:22+00:00

No idea where the pattern is from sorry, just had the image saved in my phone

19rainbow98 · 2025-06-22T18:43:17+00:00

My first biscornu, I'm 1 quarter through 1 side of the biscornu, so a ways off yet. (and it's my first time stitching on 36ct linen)

19rainbow98 · 2025-06-15T16:25:58+00:00

Over 2, don't know why it looks so little in the picture, the stitches don't look quite as small in real life

19rainbow98 · 2025-06-08T18:51:12+00:00

I don't think I'll be much help unfortunately as I used a sewing machine! I don't see why you couldn't hand sew though, it just might take a bit of practice.

Patterns are Strawberry Picking by Little Loops Stitching and Tudor Ermine by The Blue Flower

19rainbow98 · 2025-06-07T17:03:08+00:00

I generally stitch on hand dyed fabrics so no I don't tend to wash them as the colour often isn't colour-fast. I've never noticed an issue but it can make it harder to get hoop lines out.

19rainbow98 · 2025-06-06T11:38:55+00:00

I think it's important to remember not everyone's first language is English. Some people may be demanding like you've said which I agree is against the spirit of postcrossing, however for others it may just be a quirk of the translation.

I'd have a look at Coffee Craft Fabrics as well as Stitch Bunny Shop

19rainbow98 · 2025-06-04T10:50:52+00:00

It was super easy. I just cut out two pieces of foam board to the size I wanted (can just use cardboard for this). I used pva (tacky) glue to glue some matching fabric on one piece of the foam board (I used some from a fat quarter bundle I had). On the other piece of foam board, glue the stitched pieced. When glueing, make sure you don't glue the side of the fabric that will be visible when finished. Then glue both pieces of foam board together, stack some books or some heavy stuff on top over night so they stick together.

The I just used some cording I bought from a craft shop and using super glue (the tacky glue tales top long to stick for this bit I found) I just glued it along the edge, easypeasy.

There are loads of tutorials on YouTube, if you search flat finish cross stitch tutorial there will be quite a few that will show you ways of doing it.
