    My Fabric Bookmarks

    Hello everyone! The last few weeks I’ve been thinking what awesome bookish products I can make and what fun things I can do with them. I love sewing and cross stitching so I’ve been working for a while now to combine that and my passion for books. As you might have seen, I’ve been making cross stitch version of book covers for a while now. I’m currently working on three more covers! And they’re all very big projects, so I’m not sure when I’ll be able to finish them :p In the meantime I’ve also been learning to make lots of stuff on my sewing machine and I wanted to…

    Cross Stitch Project: Nevernight

    To celebrate the release of Darkdawn very soon and because I really loved reading Nevernight, I made a little cross stitch pattern! It’s an easy pattern that is fun to stitch and would look nice in a bookcase or on your library wall. If you want to make it yourself, you can find the pattern in my Etsy store. It’s a PDF download, a colour file and a black and white file. I’ve been really enjoying designing and stitching these patterns inspired by books I’ve really loved and I hope I can do some more original ones in the future.

    Cross Stitch Project #3: Red Sister

    My third project is finally done! This one was a bit of a challenge because I made a lot of mistakes in the beginning.

My next project will be a full cover, not just part of it. It’s based on beautiful artwork from Raymond Swanland. It’s so big though that I don’t know how long it’s going to take me to finish it… But for now, I hope you like my cross stitch version of Nona! Colours: 36 Thread:…

    Cross Stitch Project #1: Bloody Rose

    When I first created my Instagram account it was with a clear purpose: to have a creative outlet alongside the blog. I very early on decided I wanted to combine my cross stitch adventure with my passion for books. I set out to create cross stitch works based on book covers, one every month. It took me a bit longer than expected to finish my very first project, but here it is! πŸ™ˆ I present: Bloody Rose.
