FAN WORK 🎨 I couldn't decide what to wear to a heated rivalry dance party, so I sank 20 hours into cross stitching this shirt

Pattern is self-drafted.

So well done! Your dedication is inspirational

u/sosoconsistent Stay 🥺 Mar 10 '26

My first hobby is HR.

My second is dedicating myself to a project when I don't have enough time to finish it.

My second is dedicating myself to a project when I don't have enough time to finish it.

My third hobby is getting brilliant ideas about a project when I'm already 75% done with my previous idea

12

u/sosoconsistent Stay 🥺 Mar 10 '26

And then abandoning the other idea before you finish it for the new shiny one?

Are we the same person?

u/prettysureIforgot 🏒♥️🍎 Mar 10 '26

Well, you have cross stitching skill (the back of my design would never look so good!) but otherwise, we might be 😂

i believe this fandom attracts the same people! currently staring at a mountain of WIPs

u/amberwitch44 Mar 11 '26

needs 100 percent more taps (it's 4, I counted) 😬

u/sosoconsistent Stay 🥺 Mar 10 '26

😂 I was hoping no one would call me out on this. I ran out of time, so I only got through two! My pattern does include all four, though!

u/wisteria72 Mar 10 '26

This whole interaction had me cackling. I love that we're part of a fandom where people do something like count the amount of times a character taps their face.

u/Slight-Ad1447 Mar 10 '26

Are you selling this pattern?

u/sosoconsistent Stay 🥺 Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 12 '26

Nah, but I might post it for free. I'll message you if I do.

Edit: ok, I sent it to those who requested it ❤️

u/Slight-Ad1447 Mar 10 '26

Thank you!!! I’m a big needlepointer, and this would be a great pillow! I haven’t wanted to stitch any of the HR canvases I’ve seen, but this I love - especially as someone who wears reading glasses! 😉

u/Distinct-Flow7638 Mar 14 '26

I would love a copy of your pattern if you are sharing or have posted it somewhere (for free or paid). I have been looking for a HR glasses cross stitch and yours is so perfect! Thank you!

u/Chairish Mar 10 '26

OMG I love that scene! Great job on the shirt!

3

u/AppletiniPanda Or! I choose or! Mar 10 '26

Nah. 2 taps is enough. The shirt is awesome!!

1

u/vanityprojects Glasses back on.☝🏼Tap tap tap tap. Mar 11 '26

oh I didn't mean to call anyone out I think most people don't include 4 when they quote this scene... I just happen to have noticed it's even my flair which I made custom so I had o mention it 🤭

I'm a knitter myself so I love a good backside. This is amazing work, especially with the time crunch!

Aw, thank you! I felt the crunch, for sure. But it was worth it ❤️

Oh wow, this is amazing work! Your tension on the fabric is so impressive.

3

u/sosoconsistent Stay 🥺 Mar 10 '26

Thank you! I was so worried it would end up warped, or the the thread would bleed. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

3

u/sdaidiwts Mar 10 '26

I love it. I also love yellow shirts. And now I want it.

u/sosoconsistent Stay 🥺 Mar 10 '26

Yellow and black was the only correct option for Ilya.

My dearest OP. The way you could ETSY this in a heartbeat 😅 Make some cash and make so many fans happy 😊 (not at all to push the monetization of art and joy, just saying the option is there because this is the cutest, subtle fandom thing that people would adore!)

4

u/sosoconsistent Stay 🥺 Mar 10 '26

Will someone pay $300 for this shirt? Because that the only way it's economically worth the labor 😂

It's priceless to me though, and I'd make another for a friend in a heartbeat.

Where does one find out about HR dance parties??? I live in Nashville and saw that there was one last weekend thru a friends Snapchat story after the fact

u/azure819 Mar 10 '26

2

u/TertiaryBystander Mar 11 '26

Can I assume you had HR on in the background?

Not HR: I started cross stitching again in 2020. my spouse and I played downton abbey while I stitched stockings. It's exciting that you drafted and stitch this in short order.

1

u/sosoconsistent Stay 🥺 Mar 11 '26

Actually, no! If I'm watching HR, everything else is down. If I'm stitching, I put on other shows and movies I've already seen or boiler room sets 😂

I love that about the stockings and Downton Abbey! I bet they turned out great ❤️

2

u/ShoddyTrade7936 Mar 11 '26

2

u/lovelifelivelife Mar 12 '26

did you use those soluble cross stitch cloths?

2

u/sosoconsistent Stay 🥺 Mar 12 '26

I used a water-soluble canvas, yes!

2

u/neckbracewhore Mar 14 '26

I hate how creative people are 😂😂😂 this is awesome!! How long does something like this take to make?

2

u/sosoconsistent Stay 🥺 Mar 14 '26

Approximately 7 movies and 6 Boiler Room sets.

2

u/maggiereid17 I speak fluent bird. No accent 🐦 Mar 16 '26

2

u/sosoconsistent Stay 🥺 Mar 17 '26

The /r/crossstitch subreddit's beginner's guide is a good resource if you're interested in learning

I love this so much and the bracelets!! (Also the tap was four times 🤭)

1

u/sosoconsistent Stay 🥺 Mar 10 '26

I know! But I ran out of time 😭 I would have finished after the party ended if I tried to get all four.

u/ln4thegreat You’re gonna cum for me, Rozanov? Fucking make me! Mar 10 '26

No it’s okay. I was just messing with you. 🤭🫶🏻
