Filed under old ideas that I'm exploring this season: travel size stitching tins. Includes helpful items like a magnetic needle minder and small embroidery thread bobbins. For the larger tins, I also melted down beeswax into little succulent plant shapes which you can use on the end of your thread to make it easier to thread a needle.

Idea: a Stitchwitch’s Grimoire

Okay, hear me out: have y’all seen those embroidery sampler books where the pages are fabric? Okay. So. This is a niche post, but if you like stitchcraft in your witchery, or practice mainly stitchcraft, consider: a grimoire incorporating the idea and taking it further. I’m thinking paper signatures bound alongside fabric sampler signatures. You could use weaving samples as pages, or embroider sigils on scrap fabric, and have some paper signatures attached to some fabric signatures, and the paper signatures could have pattern notes, information, etc that needs writing so you don’t have to sew all the words on. And like. You can do iron resist for writing on fabric, too! And if you dye fiber, you can use dyed stuff in there, too. You can keep pages closed with kumihimo bracelets, a friendship bracelet, an i-cord, or an inkle band. I just, idk, I think this is fun and I wanna do it but I also wanna see other people do it too!

And here’s day 5: Black Forest. My super simple take on a gingerbread cottage tucked in a dark, German forest. I may end up fleshing this one out more in the future; I love the idea of it. #allhallowsartchallenge #crossstitch #crossstitchersofinstagram #xstitch #darkoctoberstitching #flosstube #stitchmaynia #stitcher #stitchwitch #moderncrossstitch #xstitchersofinstagram #crossstitching #xstitching #modernembroidery #handstitched #embroidery #handembroidery #needlework #needlecraft https://www.instagram.com/p/CUqXEmAvhpB/?utm_medium=tumblr

I decided to take a lot of ideas from traditional Slavic embroidery and translate it into cross-stitch. I could not find any clear patterns for a Mokosh figure, so I grabbed some sidewalk chalk and started scrabbling out an idea on my back patio. Then converted that idea into a graphed pattern, and stitched it up! Very happy with the result.  Also featuring the Mokosh symbol from my last post translated into cross-stitch.
