It turned out so well! I didn't notice that the band was silver when I saw it in person, what a lovely touch! All that embroidery definitely paid off. :D
One should never try to mark cross-stitching hours. They're too depressing. (I really don't want to think about how many thousands of hours of my life are represented by the pictures on my walls...)
It really came out nicely. Does it work well as a pincushion?
Thank you! It works very well as a pincushion. I have to put the pins in at a slight angle because it's not quite deep enough to accommodate them from every angle, but that's fine by me. They seem perfectly secure, so I won't have to worry about shedding pins when I wear it.
I was a kid the last time I did any cross stitching, so the time-sink aspect really took me by surprise! It hasn't deterred me though. I'm planning on starting the garter pattern you gave me this week, in fact. :)
So pretty! All that hard work definitely paid off. Looks great! Also, I love seeing people's ensembles with all the right accessories. Really makes the outfit!
Thanks! It's nice to have enough 18th century outfits that I can focus more on making cool accessories for them now. I've got mitts and a chatelaine on my list now. :)
