Introducing WIPE OUT and how to CROSS STITCH any GRAPHIC.. Part 1

In my past career and even TODAY... I think of myself as a "Problem Solver"..
Have a problem, I usually can come up with a solution ...Although that may sound pompous it is anything but that...
Usually it means if I came up with a solution others are still trying to figure it out...
Take my new venture in creating x-stitch patterns from illustrations, graphics patterns that were not aimed for x-stitching...
Still with me...
I did not want to be paying $30-40.oo US for 1 pattern from FRANCE...
I love French style patterns but to get 1 PATTERN to Canada the cost is over $50.00 for one pattern...
A big reason why I asked Brooke in the fall to think of doing FRENCH influence patterns... Remember these?

See $10.oo each now seems like a real deal.. and it is....and here is why? They can be downloaded...so you can begin immediately.. very few European designers do this...
Brooke and Cori and more ( designers) will be introduced soon more patterns....that will have this distinguished marking..

Everything we will be showing will be affordable... Take this new hop using CORI's Tea for Two Patterns.. more detail in the post below....
I wanted to take her pattern and make it x-stitch.. and it is not difficult ...AGAIN if you have the tools anyone can do it...
Here is how WIPE OUT came about...as I was drawing on the linen even after stitching close to the lines...I could still see them so I mixed 2 ingredients together until I found a solution that would not stain my MONACO fabric or have my floss running...
IT WORKED!

I decided I needed a Tammy Bra for me too... so I did this last night... Again, print off pattern, draw it and stitch... ( patterns below for gingham style a la Brooke)

( update...surprising I did not think anyone would be interested.... WIPE OUT I am working with a chemist although only 2 ingredients...one of the ingredients is made up of 7 compounds)
Let me know you are interested and I will add you to my list... it will give an idea of how much to order...

I cut out all the fabric for this one , since I already mailed these other two to some very deal ladies...I wanted to have at least one to remind me how beautiful they are...

This from an applique pattern BRA ( my own) and by reducing it in size... it became a perfect gift for someone who is fighting for her life...

Now onto my next project....

Now looking at Cori's Tea for Two pattern I thought right away, I will get my light box out just an ordinary pencil...( very sharp tip) and lightly trace pattern... it fits perfectly on 8 x 11 sheet of paper.. Perfect size for a x-stitch design..

I traced it on some white MONACO....by DMC and distributed by H.A. Kidd.....

I have selected a couple boxes of floss to begin today my design.. I will be doing the legs in ivory with the seam in a charcoal color one skirt will be gingham and the other with roses and polka dots...

Using Brookes FREE pattern here... I am following the gingham pattern for one of the skirts.. the other will be polka dots and wee roses like this.
If you want to do this pattern YOU can find it here...Thanks Brooke.
Here it is on my frame, completed.. I have a special project for this as well as all the ones I will be doing in x-stitching by spring..

This is the rose pattern I will be adding to one of Cori's skirts..
