Recently, the Internet has been flooded with all kinds of photographs, comics and videos "with cats." This is not surprising: many people like cats or, at least, like to be touched by pussies in the distance. Even without a purring pet at home, you can admire the mustachioed muzzles every day if you decorate home decor with embroidered images of cats.
Pillows
Embroidered pillows are not only a wonderful gift, but also an excellent decoration for the living room, bedroom or nursery. Famous designers have invented excellent cross-stitch patterns for cats, suitable for both large and small pillow-pillows. The options are diverse: some needlewomen work directly with the fabric of the pillows and then stuff it with a padding polyester, while others value accuracy and cleanliness above all and do not want to hand over the product for every contamination. In the second case, the craftswomen do not transfer the cross-stitch patterns of cats to the bedding material itself, but to pillowcases sewn or bought in the store themselves. Embroidered linen can be changed regularly - the pillow will remain clean.
Blankets
With the advent of innovative needlework techniques, more traditional types of female crafts are gradually forgotten. Nevertheless, the proverb says that everything new is well forgotten old: the patchwork, patchwork, is slowly but surely returning to fashion.
Although most often for the creation of cozy rugs, blankets and bedspreads using the patchwork technique, ordinary shreds of unnecessary fabrics left after sewing clothes are taken, modern craftswomen are not afraid of difficulties and make incredible handmade things from miniature embroidered paintings. Cross stitch patterns for cats are particularly successful, as developers offer entire collections of designs in the same style. A great example is a collection of embroidered cats from Margaret Sherry. You can also use "animal" alphabets (of course, you will find much more English letters than Russian ones) and ordinary realistic figures of cats without a background. Authentic patchwork masterpieces are created from pieces of canvas with cute patterns from embroidery threads.
Napkins
Small cross stitch patterns of cats look great on napkins. If the design is very small, it can be transferred to a corner of the fabric or turned into an ornament to create an embroidered frame. In this vein, monotonous stylized cat heads with long mustaches, added by a “back to needle” stitch, look very interesting; most often a black cat appears in this format.
Cross-stitch (patterns, by the way, can be easily found on any forum of needlewomen, in magazines and literature, you can also use the ones in the article) will never go out of style. This is an easy and affordable occupation for every woman, which does not require special skills, high financial costs and efforts.
