borduurraam accessoires / x-stitch frame accessories

When I found a cross stitch lap stand with a frame, I realized it would be easy to make a cover and grime guards for it. So I measured the frame and went through my fabric stash to find suiting pieces of fabric.

The fabric I used for the cover is a thick cotton, of which I love the colours. They make me so happy. The kam snaps are left-overs from another project and match the fabric perfectly.
 




For the grime guards I used some small pieces of cotton that had the right size and that I probably couldn't use for something else.

Pattern: just measuring and drawing rectangles
Fabric: cotton

Valentine pole set

 "Please wear something red during the pole fitness class on Valentines Day", a request I was not (yet) prepared for. Luckily I bought some beautiful black-red-pink spandex recently and also had a piece of black performance fabric in the stash. Although the Clara shorts (Jalie 3887) are my go-to pattern, I decided to go with the shorts from Jalie 2563 this time as they have a nice little insert on the leg. 
For the bra I wasn't sure: Jalie 3247 with criss-cross straps or Greenstyle Creations power sports bra with strappy U back. After finishing the bottoms, the power sports bra seemed to complement the style/ fabric best.

BB8

A second pillow case for my little nephew, as he got over his 'cars' period pretty soon after receiving the cars-themed pillow. He now has a Star Wars-themed room, so I loved giving him a matching pillow case to put on the couch. 

Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish stitching in time for his birthday, but I showed him what I was working on and he liked it. So, needless to say, he was very happy when he finally received his finished pillow case.

The pattern was really fun to stitch. It is easy to read and I love working on colourful designs. It is stitched with 2 threads of DMC. The store bought pillow case had different counts horizontally and vertically, so I stitched over 2 threads horizontally and over 3 vertically to keep the stitches relatively squared.
