Bella Filipina has some gorgeous fantasy designs - I bought myself a mermaid chart - and if you love the whimsily fantastical you will really love their work!

CROSS STITCH INSPIRATION: Loving this beautiful project from Bella Filipina Designs, "THE POISON APPLE (BF 049)" It sparkles with Kreinik to add another layer of beauty.

From the designer, "We all knew the story of this young lady with skin as white as snow and lips as red a rose. She grew up gentle and kind, both beautiful inside and out. Reflecting her vibrant personality, bright colors adore her from her luscious pink bow, to her periwinkle dress. Buttercup colored butterflies dance happily before that unfortunate one bite."

Stitch Count: 107x188 Stitches

We are all looking for a way to save money and to be more sustainable. One of the best ways to do that is to use mending and alterations to refresh your wardrobe!

At Mending by Megan, I use my 40 years of sewing experience to help you refresh and lengthen the life of your wardrobe!

From replacing one or all buttons on your shirt or blouse, adding trim, or repairing hems, I can offer a high quality service, sewn by hand with care and attention.

Repairing hems is a specialty - ensuring your trousers/pants/jeans are the right length, fixing a hem where it's gotten caught and pulled or torn, taking it up or (if the material is there) down. Lining showing on your skirt? Let me fix it!

I am experienced in handling all types of materials from the toughest jeans and kids clothing, to luxury fabrics used in bridal land formal wear. Stitching by hand means my repairs are virtually invisible to the naked eye.
