Christmas Mini Black Cat cross stitched pillow finishing tutorial

Mini Black Cat cross stitched pillow finishing tutorial

This is one of my free mini cat patterns that is available from my blog as a freebie grid pattern.

Materials required

Linen or Aida fabric

DMC or Anchor stranded cotton

Cross stitch needle

Sharp embroidery scissors

Fabric glue

Lightweight iron on interfacing (Pellon)

Polyester fibre fill

Before starting the back stitches you must ensure you have counted from the edge of the cross stitch all the way around, i.e. if you should ten threads from the edge of the parcel before stitching you should also count ten threads from the edge of the holly, does that make sense? If not email me and I will help.

There is a hand made cord tutorial here just scroll down the page.

Tah dah.........!!!

There you have it, a cute mini cat pillow.

Why not stitch all of the mini black cat cross stitch patterns from my mini cat series from 2015?

I have designed one for each month, I have completed all twelve designs for the year.

The patterns are available on my blog

Happy stitching!
