Stitch and... get really confused.

I have attempted the art of tapestry. 

It actually turned out quite well. My housemate has since told me that it was a reallyyyy easy one.

This whole 'let's-make-everything-humanly-possible' thing all started when said housemate showed me some knitting.. 

I asked her to teach me to knit, and I was immediately hooked. HAHAHAHA. It's ok, I've got it out of the way now. I promise, no more.

 So I recently caught sight of a tapestry my housemate is working on. (a tapestry? some tapestry? suggestions please. tapestrying?) This is Holly's impressive difficult one...

I wanted to give it a try, my eventual goal is a nice big cushion cover, possibly for my Grandma's conservatory, I can just see it in there!

I ordered a nice little heart shaped starter kit from The Sewing Shack.

They do all sorts of kits for people who are just starting out, that are also really suitable for children.

You can browse and order here.

Here is how mine turned out..

I've got it stuck on the back of my door until I find a suitable frame or something for it.

I'm contemplating progressing to something slightly more difficult.. but I don't want to find out that this one was just a fluke!

The thing I found most difficult was keeping all the stitches the same way, especially when changing rows.

I don't think I did it exactly right, it looks awful on the back, I've probably cheated to make the front look good.

These kits make such fantastic gifts too, it came in a cute little bag with everything needed to make it packed neatly inside!

Happy stitching!
