My first foray into crossstitched sprites[Legend of Zelda]

[out2lunch]

I've done needlepoint for years, but I recently made some cross stitched patches for the redditgift exchange and now I'm totally addicted to stitching sprites ^_^

Here are my first projects, please let me know what you think

Super cute!

Are they notepads?

I can't tell how you've finished your edges. Did you just fold the edges over and stitch through both layers? or is that a second, white piece of fabric stitched to the back? But I love the stitching. Very well done.

The triforce is on a sketchbook, here's a better pic of the whole thing

Thank you so much ^_^!
I did indeed fold them over and stitch both layers, but I also turned them into iron on patches with some iron on adhesive. That's the paper backing that you see poking around some of the edges.

That's awesome! Such a unique idea! Have you used them on anything? Is that how you got the one on the note book?

That is indeed how I got the triforce on the notebook. Because of the weight of the patch and the fact that couldn't iron it from the back, I had to iron it a lot longer than it said to, but it seems to have stuck pretty well

Great job they look awesome!

Those are very cute! Maybe I'll do something like that for my son's backpack!
