The frame of Jesus portrait

#Blog 317

Blessed Sunday everyone!

As what I've shared yesterday about my blog, ive got you so that would be enough that crostitch is one of my best skills that I have lol. Of course it's not easy from the start. Must learned it by yourself. Be smart of reading the pattern to avoid mistakes in sewing. One mistake can ruin your design. Imagined that?

This is the photo of a pattern. You need to buy that one to start your crostitch. Piece of advice, you must start in a small cloth/design before you sew the big pattern. More threads more works to sew. But it's a great feeling if you finished it smoothly. No need to rush and it takes few months for me, about 2 to 3 months. I'm a full time mother so time management is the key.

If you have a patten already then fold the pattern into half and look for the center of it. That part you can start sewing. Since the pattern is too small with different symbols and color of the threads, I'm confused with the a lots of symbols so I rather used the color pen. I shaded it with different colors of pens. Be smart in counting also.

Best seller design....

The Rose of Sharon is the best seller for me because one of my friend introduce me to Madam Dumaran. She's been looking for a people who knows how to sew a crostitch. I agree with the price. She's the one provides the materials and she will pay me the labor only. Nice sideline right?

Madam Dumaran send our works to US, she had a daughter there. Some of her friends really loved the works of Filipino people when it comes to crostitch. We know that we are a hard working one that we can do everything just to earn money. I forgot how many Rose of Sharon I sew that time. It's a big help also for me because I can buy some milk and diaper for my eldest son. My ex husband don't have a stable job that time so I need to find a way to earn some money. Ma'am Dumaran just payed us for 4,000 to 5,000php. If she's in good mood she will pay us for more hahaha. She's truly generous for us because we did our best also in sewing the crostitch.

That time I have my eldest son already, a 3 years old. I just sew only if his sleeping during afternoon. I don't sew at evening, I'm very protective with my eyes. I don't want to wear an eyeglass if I'm getting old. I never wash my face everytime I wake up every morning. My eyes got wet only if I'm bathing. That's the reason I have a good eyesight that I can read every tiny words in a book without using an eyeglass.

Jesus portrait...

As of this morning I clean the frame of Jesus portrait and put at the side of my television. I'm a catholic person. This is the only design I make that I really display in my humble home. Isn't nice? It's bigger than my TV. I just used only I color of the thread. As far as I remember I just sew it for almost 1 month only. The pattern is not so difficult just like the Rose of Sharon have a lots of colors.

I'll find a pattern of Rose of Sharon at shopee coz that one will be my next project lol. I loved the design. Though got a lot of threads can be used but it's really nice. Promised you will not regret. Some of my friends are still waiting for me to sew the Jesus portrait. They don't bother the payment as long as I can do it hahaha.

Thanks to all my sponsors!
