In this podcast episode I tell you all about how you can personalise your cross stitch pattern. 

Personalising a cross stitch pattern can seem quite daunting but it adds such a lovely touch to your work and makes a thougtful gift. Hopefully these steps help break it down for you. 

You will need:

• Graph paper
• A pattern to personalise (you can download the Teepee pattern used in this example)
• An alphabet pattern, which you can also download
• A pencil and rubber

Pattern of the month

This months pattern is from Witchy Stitcher on Etsy and I knew as soon as I seen it, that it had to feature on Octobers podcast. It's called I Practice Stitch Craft and if stitched on 14 count aida measures 6.07 x 5.71 inches. 
It has the words, with a skull, some bobbins and a crescent moon on it. She includes 2 versions of the pattern so you can stitch it on black or white aida. This is a great Halloween pattern to stitch this month.
