                <description><![CDATA[I only had so much linen fabric so I decided to experiment with dyeing it to make it distinctive from the rest of the costume. The brown-striped linen was the most dramatic, but it&#039;s also lost most of the stripe unless you&#039;ve got your nose pressed to the fabric. The bag also turned out more faded denim than I expected, but... I wasn&#039;t looking for too rich of color, so it worked. They were made up into two different bags.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I completed this several years ago, when I was much earlier on in my cross-stitching journey. I would modify more now (like add an outline to the cricket bat so that it matches the gun more), but I really like the typography.

                <description><![CDATA[I got this pattern initially in a Spellbound Stitches pack. It came with 6 patterns and the Cosmo floss needed for them. Cosmo floss is another brand, like DMC or Anchor, and it comes from Japan. Texture of threads always vary across color, but overall Cosmo felt nicer. Silkier. But it&#039;s harder to find. I have to special order it from 123Stitch. Considering all of the inherited floss I have, I can&#039;t really justify it most of the time, but it&#039;s so nice to have some to play with.

                <description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve been going to the Bristol Ren Faire for about two decades now. Every summer, I end up going multiple weekends with different parties. For many reasons, it took me this long to come up with a costume. I went through a pirate phase as a kid and Our Flag Means Death kicked off another pirate phase a couple years ago. While I would kill to dress up as Izzy, I would melt away in midwestern summer heat while wearing black leather. This pirate costume has me in cottons and linens exclusively. Patt...]]></description>

I wish I did, though, because the Unicorn and the Wanderer patterns are beautiful. I really like the mini paintings. They&#039;re satisfying to complete. The confetti on some of the patterns is really evident in the backs though.]]></description>
