Maybe Wine Will Help – Snarky Cross Stitch Pattern

by

maybe wine will help cross stitch

I am a big fan of snarky cross stitch, because it’s fun to see sarcastic or otherwise unexpected statements in what’s considered a rather traditional art form.

I love this Maybe Wine Will Help design from Peacock and Fig. It features classic roses stitched with a snarky saying that’s perfect for hanging in your bar area of giving to a friend who loves vino.

The pattern is an immediate PDF download and costs $9.99. Peacock and Fig has a great Vintage Sass collection that includes traditional designs and snarky statements in fun script fonts.

So fun!

All About Stitching on Perforated Paper

I recently wrote a post on my blog about using a stitchable journal cover and I mentioned that you can make your own stitched cover for a journal by using perforated paper instead of buying a stitchable notebook.

I have to admit, though, that I’ve never used perforated paper for cross stitch myself. I definitely want to because I think it would be great to use for bookmarks that don’t fray and have a little more stability, for example.

Sirious Stitches has us covered, though, because they did a deep dive into all things perforated cross stitch pattern that is worth the time to read through.

The post mentions that a lot of people use perforated paper for cross stitch because they buy an ornament kit that uses it. I’ve never seen these (or at least never noticed that that is what they were) but it’s a great idea to make small projects like ornaments in this way. It also talks about the pros and cons of using cross stitch paper, where to buy it and how to make your own. 

Making it yourself is an awesome idea because if you already have a pattern in mind you can just make holes in your paper where you need stitches to be and leave the rest solid. This would be ideal for making greeting cards, for example.

In addition to kits and sheets you can often find the paper pre-cut into different shapes you can use to make your own designs, no real pattern required.

The post also includes tips and advice for how to stitch on perforated paper that you’ll want to check out before you try your first project.

I’m super intrigued by the idea of using perforated paper for cross stitch and will probably be trying it out soon. Have you used it before? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
