The tagline for the Etsy store of the Kosher Vendor is “I make foolish little cross sew patterns,” and that’s a fairly great way of placing it.
This small store has a geeky, snarky and Jewish twist, and their little cross sew patterns are lots of enjoyable.
The rationale I knew I needed to share this store with you is that this assortment of The West Wing impressed cross sew patterns. However they don’t say “What’s subsequent?” or “deliver me the best muffins and bagels in all of the land.” These are impressed by the Daughters of the American Revolution episode, which is such a deep minimize I’d forgotten about it till we began rewatching the sequence not too long ago. So if it’s worthwhile to sew up a Francis Scott Key Key or a design to honor Marion Cotesworth Haye, this store can hook you up.
Most likely my favourite sample of theirs, although, is the progressive Satisfaction flag with a Star of David within the middle, which the designer says “sends a robust message of solidarity, acceptance, and celebration of variety inside each the LGBTQ+ and Jewish communities.” That is blackwork, not strictly cross sew, however it’s such a beautiful design and message I couldn’t resist sharing.
The design requires 11 colours and might be stitched on 14 rely cloth, however it is likely to be simpler to work on 28 rely evenweave over 2 due to the place among the stitches finish. It’s thought-about an intermediate sample however when you have completed blackwork earlier than it shouldn’t be onerous. On 14 rely Aida or 28 rely evenweave it comes out to 9.875 by 7.75 inches (25.08 by 19.69 cm).
Along with this design there are different enjoyable Judaica cross sew patterns, a geeky part with a heavy emphasis on Physician Who and teh online game Portal, and a few humorous, snarky sayings.
For a store that solely has 24 patterns as of this writing, there’s a enjoyable number of stuff, so go verify them out at The Kosher Stitcher on Etsy.
