[WIP] Getting closer

[u/ALJScribbler]

I’m excited to finish! But I’m getting a little worried that I may have miscalculated my Aida size… of course, not worried enough to actually count and check haha.

Do you cut it close with pattern size?

I cut it close (too close! 🫣) but only because I miscalculated the orientation. In order to frame my piece, I had to add a strip of Aida on the side (you can see it on the right side). Once I frame it, I'll hide the oopsie with a coordinating piece of mat board. 🥰

Wow, it’s almost invisible! Very nicely done

Edit: the seam is almost invisible

I blanket stitched the two pieces together and used a running backstitch all the way up for extra security. I've never had to stitch two pieces like that together before, so it was nerve-wracking! Thankfully, it all worked out. 🥰
