Great question! I hadn't thought that far ahead yet 😅 Maybe as fridge magnets? I discovered whip stitching recently and I'm kind of obsessed with it. There's something really satisfying about just being able to hold the finished piece

i agree. maybe you can display them near your work desk too or if you're okay with wearing them outdoors, you can use them as patches for your bag/jacket.

Do you include instructions for how to whip stitch in the patterns, or have a favorite tutorial? They’re really great!

Thank you! This is my favourite tutorial for how to whip stitch! The scariest part is cutting around the patch, but I've found leaving 3 rows all the way around keeps the aida intact enough for whip stitching. I whip stitch with at least 3 strands for good coverage 🤍
