| Vintage Cross Stitch Gingham Apron |
This apron has been in my possession for approximately 25 years. I acquired it along with some vintage linens at a deceased estate auction. It has a lovely shape down through the sides and all the thick floss cross-stitch has been done by hand of course. Another lovely feature is the shaped waist band which has also been cross-stitched with thick floss. I will make a tutorial and pattern for this lovely apron over the next day or so.

Hi Vicki
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with this type of embroidery a couple of months ago although it was introduced to me as Chicken Scratch embroidery. Mind you, I haven't made anything yet, just played with the technique on black and white gingham. Another UFO!
Both of these are great! I've not done any cross-stitch for a couple of months now - must find something new for summer. Well done for coming up with your own designs! Xx
ReplyDeletehm.. I am reached here by searching for calibration details of embroidery machines... think it is right place for it and this site should be an encyclopedia for the embroidery business.
ReplyDeleteI never knew that it depended on the number of stitches one got. I just assumed that it was so much per image that was placed on the garment. Guess you learn something new each day.
