35 Cross Stitch Items to Make

If you are anything like me, as your love of cross stitch grows so will your pile of finished pieces! Very quickly you can run out of wall space and wonder what to do with all these beautiful things you are creating. To give you a helping us hand I have pulled together this list of ‘Cross Stitch Items to Make’.

If you are part of my Design Your Own Cross Stitch Pattern course then you might also think about designing specifically for the design to be made into an object. I don’t see that many of these kinds of patterns around so it could also be a unique way of setting a new cross stitch business apart.

Cross Stitch Items also make fantastic gifts so if you are being very diligent and thinking about your Christmas gifting then some of these ideas may be a great place to start.

Do check out my Pinterest board on Cross Stitch Items as I have pinned some tutorials there for how to make some of these items. I’ll keep updating that as I come across new ones.
