Persian Tiles #crossstitch pattern is now LIVE on www.elisemade.com and on #etsy 😍 This 5-page PDF pattern includes 2 charts and lots of ideas to help you create a beautiful and unique piece! ✨ Use coupon code TILES20 to get 20% off the pattern now through Sunday 10/21. Happy stitching! #elisemade #persiantiles #crossstitchpatterns #crossstitchdesign #patternrelease
Persian Tiles is my first #crossstitchpattern in a series of designs inspired by hand-painted tiles from around the world. Designed to be infinitely repeatable, there are so many cool ways to crop, turn, and customize the pattern to create something unique and beautiful! I plan to frame my finished sample, but I think a large-scale repeat (cross stitch or #needlepoint) would be a gorgeous pillow front 🔥 ✨ The pattern will be available in my shop (and on Etsy) tomorrow when you wake up, and I’m offering 20% off the pattern through the weekend to celebrate! Watch my stories later today for early access to the coupon code! #elisemade #crossstitch #crossstitchpatterns #persiantiles #tilepattern
My Persian Tiles #crossstitchpattern is finished and I’m releasing it this Friday! This is such a pretty design that can be worked up in so many different ways. Pattern includes 2 different charts, cropping ideas, and ways to customize the pattern using different color schemes and thread weights 🙌🏼 I’ll be offering 20% off the pattern through the end of the weekend, so look out for the announcement this Friday if you want to snag a copy on sale ❤️ #elisemade #crossstitch #persiantiles #crossstitchersofinstagram #stitchersgonnastitch
I’ve been on this journey since 2011. When I started, I lacked a lot of skills but was filled with drive and hope. Over the years that balance of skill/enthusiasm has shifted a lot. There have been long periods of frustration, wanting to be in a place I wasn’t ready for yet, and also long periods of enjoying taking a step back and reevaluating what I’m doing. Lately, I feel (maybe for the first time) really focused. I’ve been hard at work on a big shop update and website refresh that feels like a long time coming. And I’ve really pushed myself outside my comfort zone by getting in front of the camera (😬) not only to better show you my designs but also to start showing my face and a little more about me and my life. It’s kinda scary for me but also exciting. ✨ I’ve got lots coming this week including all kinds of new knits in the shop and the release of my persian tiles #crossstitch pattern! Stay tuned 🙂 #elisemade #knitting #chunkyknit #cowl #coolknitsforeveryone
I’m hard at work on the last few pieces of the shop update puzzle, it’s been a lot of work but I’ve got a lot of exciting new things including this ✨awesome✨ rainbow stripe hat! #elisemade #knitting #winterhat #rainbows #coolknitsforeveryone
New hats hitting the shop this weekend with a bunch of other cool knits like storage baskets, cacti, bralettes, headbands...and more 😍 I love the way this rainbow kids hat turned out and can’t wait to show you the adult one I just finished in white @bergere_de_france wool roving! 🌈🔥 #elisemade #knitting #rainbows #winterhats #coolknitsforeveryone
Never forget baby godson’s first Thanksgiving in his turkey leg hat 😍😂 ✨There’s still plenty of time to score a hat before Thanksgiving! Find adults, kids, toddler, & baby sizes in my shop 🍗✨ #elisemade #knitting #turkeyleg #turkeyhat #coolknitsforeveryone
There was a little chill in the air here in Los Angeles this morning, which means it’s in the mid-high 60s.. 🙈 I know I’m not the only one who gets excited about this, because most native Angelenos bust out their sweaters in weather like this! I for one was happy to be wearing a sweatshirt as I left for work early this morning! ✨ If you’re thinking about cold weather season like me, go check out the wool hats I have in the shop! There’s a bunch available for adults, kids, and babies and I have a couple more coming as part of my big shop update 🙂 #elisemade #knitting #winterhat #cabledhat #coolknitsforeveryone
