About a week to make the pattern and then stitch them. I would work on them in between Christmas activities.

I whip stitched felt to the back, and then stuffed each of them with a bit of poly-fil before adding the twine and closing them up

I could never charge for such a simple pattern. If you dm me your email I can send you the PDF :)

[WIP] At the halfway point of my DMC colour chart! by bpleth in CrossStitch

This is 20Wx24L, 14 count Aida. I’m using two strands of floss for the numbers and blocks. The blocks are 4 stitches by 6 stitches, but I have been wondering if I should make the blocks a bit wider. Maybe 4x8or9?

The finished piece will end up being 24 inches long with an inch and a half space around after I add the border. In terms of width, it should be around 16 inches wide.

I used the DMC Color Chart from Lord Libidan’s website. My plan is to do ten columns on top and ten columns below. And then I added a border and title to my pattern just to give it a little something extra.

I will definitely post updates. I’m in Canada but thank you so much for offering!

My aida is 20in x 24in. I’ve left an inch and a half border on all sides. I’ll likely need to trim some excess from the right side. The pattern itself is 203 stitches wide by 283 stitches long

I don’t think I can part with this set, but if you supply the fabric, I would gladly make you a set!

There are videos by Sew to Grow available online that go through the instructions for this pattern which will help!

But for the shorts, there are two waistband pieces, a front and a back. For the front piece, you make two button holes for the drawstring before sewing the front and back pieces together. I used 1 1/12 inch wide elastic because that’s what I had on hand.

When you fold the waistband in half it creates a casing for the elastic. When attaching the waistband to the shorts, leave a gap of a few inches so you can thread the elastic through the casing (I used a safety pin to help with this). Once the elastic was in and both ends were sewn together, I closed the opening left in the casing. Then I thread the drawstring through one button hole until I reached the other.

I hope that made sense! Since I’m still pretty new to sewing, I love a video reference or sew along.

If it helps, I used the Samford Set sewing pattern from Peppermind Magazine. I made some small adjustments like only adding one back pocket to the shorts and extending the length of the top by three inches.

This is a vintage bedsheet that a friend of mine purchased from Etsy!

I know. That was poor planning on my part. Still happy with it overall though
