New baby cards

Easy stitches for every level

Intermediate stitchers could easily tackle these

adorable new baby cards – just a few fractional

stitches are used for the kittens’ eyes and noses, but

otherwise you only need to work whole stitches and

backstitch (and one French knot for the lettering).

Therefore, if you prefer working on aida, feel free to

swap this for evenweave, and simply make sure you

use a sharp needle to work the facial details.

How to mount

the cards

1

Trim your stitching to size, leaving

six strands of evenweave around

all four edges, then fray four strands of

evenweave all the way around. You can

either pull the threads out by hand or

use a pair of tweezers.

2

Cut a piece of white paper

to a slightly smaller size than your

stitched area, and stick this to the back

of the fabric using double-sided tape.

3

Stick more double-sided tape to

the back of the white paper and

position the stitching over the centre

of the card blank. When you are happy

with the positioning, stick it carefully

into place.

For a more colourful

finish, use coloured

aperture cards or

even a brightly

coloured frame
