Every family deserves the cross stitch treatment. 🧵💖👨👩👧👦
Create the blueprint for a cross stitch that's completely, unmistakably yours.
In this design-focused workshop, you'll learn how to use the beloved Pixel People pattern book to create custom cross stitch characters that look just like your favorite people. Whether you're designing your immediate family, your chosen family, a group of friends, your pets, or even your D&D party, you'll leave with the skills to build personalized patterns for years to come.
Rather than stitching a finished project during class, we'll focus on the creative process of designing your own pattern. We'll walk through choosing hairstyles, clothing, accessories, poses, and proportions while sharing our favorite tips for selecting realistic DMC floss colors for a wide variety of skin tones and hair colors.
By the end of class, you'll have a fully planned custom family design ready to stitch into a keepsake you'll treasure forever. ♾️
