Our every-popular watercolour background with a big, white "fuck the tires" across the centre! This is available in 2 colourways: Rainbow and Jewel.
This is actually a great pattern for beginners because, although it might look a little daunting, all that watercolour-style stitching means that if you mess up and get a few stitches in the wrong place, you won't be able to tell! As long as you've got your text in the right place, the rest will still look awesome.
This pattern also comes in both circle and square versions - so you can make it into a nice cushion cover, or frame it in a hoop (without having to waste thread stitching right to the corners!)
Please note, this listing is for a pattern to allow you to create your own cross stitch.
It is NOT a finished item! You will receive digital (PDF) files, not a physical item.
