CHART PACK:
Mirror and Phone case
CROSS STITCH PATTERN, DESIGNED BY Agnès Delage-Calvet
Here's a fun project for making your own customized Mirror and Phone case in cross stitch.
Designer Agnès Delage-Calvet offers a choice of 3 different cross stitch patterns as well as a detailed tutorial, so that you can make a set of matching accessories, both handy and refined. The mirror and phone case make excellent gifts too!
Apart from needlework supplies, all you need to source is a compact mirror with a fitted cover (in DIY stores) and some ribbon and lining fabric for making the case. The needlework part is stitched on 28ct linen but you can of course replace it with any 28ct evenweave or 14ct Aida in the color of your choice. You can also decide on our own color scheme (stitched model see photo was stitched in blue on raw linen).
There is a choice of 3 patterns for both the mirror and the case. All charts feature geometric motifs with lace-like effects. The pack also includes an alphabet so you can customize either item with a set of initials.
The tutorial is very detailed taking you step by step through each stage of the project, with photos and helpful tips such as a method for perfectly centering your stitched piece in the round mirror. The pattern was designed for an iphone but there is a guide for adapting the template for any size of phone.
