Cross stitching has been around for ages and there is a very good reason why. It is a relaxing and rewarding hobby. There are many uses for the cross stitching finished product. you can embellish clothing for a one of a kind outfit. It can also be used for decorating pillows, bedding, towels, curtains, wall hangings, pictures and so many more items.
That said, it is also an inexpensive craft. The supplies required are few and purchased over a period of time the cost is very low. Think about it, the aida cloth or waste canvas you would use is reasonable. The cost of the floss and beads you use to embellish your piece can be very low if you spread the purchases over time. Patterns can be purchased and used over and over. Even better is when you are able to obtain these patterns free of charge.
That’s why I am writing this piece. There are quite a few places on line where you can get beautiful patterns online for free. I have been doing this myself for years and have decided to pass on some of my favorite free patterns sites. I am including my top ten however there are many good websites out there.
