If you post your cross stitch work on social media, how do you feel about people immediately asking where did you get the pattern from? Do you want a compliment first? Or if they're asking for the pattern, is that compliment enough?

2025 was the year I wanted to make my own clothes. I didn't make everything I wanted and there were some awful projects in between, but there is nothing better than getting complimented on something you're wearing and telling them you made it!

Do you craft more for yourself or for gifts at this time of year. Or are you like me and enjoy the process of making but then do nothing with the finished thing?

What's your favourite way to use scraps of Aida from past projects? I cannot be the only one that saves all these tiny bits of fabric when I finish a project. I try and be as zero waste as possible, so I want to find some ways for using these up rather than them going in the bin.

Honestly, what is wrong with people? Blatantly telling me they would steal a designers work. This is why designers can't make any money.

I am confused.
Is cross stitch popular? I would like to think that it never went out of fashion.
Is it because the materials are harder to get hold of?
What do we need to do to get cross stitch seen as 'on trend'
