Ever After

When Amanda from BAD Stitch invited me to join back in August, I was over the moon — and a little nervous! Designing within such a tiny, specific space was more challenging than I expected. I discovered that my bookmark stitched on 18ct Aida looked a bit squat, so next time I'll definitely go for a skinnier shape (regardless of what Aida its stitched on!). That said, I'm really proud of how my Romance-themed bookmark turned out. It's a DIY-friendly design, meaning you can: Change the skin tones of the figures Customise the initials to suit you or your loved ones It's a design meant to feel personal, sweet, and versatile — just like a good love story. 💞 I also went glue-free when finishing my bookmark, after researching heaps of different methods. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and I'll be sharing a blog post [very] soon about exactly how to recreate this finish at home!
