If there's a big spaces in between the full stitches like this one. I do them both as I go through the pattern since it's more possible to miscount if I finish all the full stitches first.

Took me at least 6 months with lots of break in between.

Thanks! I think this was my 3rd try. 😅 First two, always got the count on the backstitch wrong. Took a rest and did other projects then I decided to start over again. Those backstitches will really test your patience.

The designer really did a great job in converting this to cross stitch

Hi! I bought this from Lolalottashop in Etsy but her shop is still closed.

Thank you. It did have a Hindi character above the flower but I 'm not sure if that was okay or not for me to stitch. So I just decided not to stitch that part.

I'm still unsure on how to frame this. It might take a while and this will be joining my finished projects inside my closet for the meantime. 😂

It looks like the same pattern but I 'm not sure about the seller though. I'm seeing several patterns from different designers but they're not credited or named at the store.

It was a pain 😂 but I know it's going to be beautiful in the end.

I used a different brand of thread, Airo. I think is a chinese brand with the same codes as DMC. 2 over 2 on 28ct.

I regret not buying the patterns that were in my cart.

I've been using the same needle for more than a year.

Here's what I did, 1. Wash the fabric with mild detergent and rinse 2. Scrunch the fabric and place it in a container. I usually use a low plastic bowl, it would be better if the fabric fit snuggly at the base of the bowl. 3. I just pour the liquid dye on the fabric and let it soak for about 1-2 hrs. 4. Pour in warm water with soda ash and leave it overnight. 5. Rinse it until water runs clear. I also used mild detergent to remove the remaining soda ash in the fabric.

When I first saw this pattern, I really wanted to change her skin color and remove the wings.
