Suppose I should introduce myself. I’m Aislin, 34, exhausted single parent in England. I embroider stuff, I cross stitch, I parent, I try to survive and barely ever leave my house. That’s basically it. I’m not very interesting :p but hi anyway.

WIP. My sunflower jeans wore out and I didn’t want to bin them so… attempting to make a bag! The elastic waistband tripped me up, so it’s a little wonky, but it’s not terrible!
Lining and straps next

The thread to finish the last rose finally arrived! Jacket completed and washed. Need it to dry to get proper pictures, and of course the sun has packed up and left 😝

Surprisingly difficult to photograph a jacket in its entirety. All finished apart from one rose where I ran out of thread and now have to wait for the postman to bring me some more 😭

I’ve done this little dragon (KitsbySAstitch) once before - the difference between before and after backstitch is amazing
