- A cross stitch pillow finish is a classic for a reason, but let's make it SPOOKY! In this step-by-step tutorial we'll cover what you need, how to attach trim, and a bit of motivation for those who - like me - are not pro at sewing.

Get the pattern I used in this video from Winter Nightmare's Ko-fi shop: ko-fi.com/s/8f8fcb4716

Perfect quick tutorial! Maybe I’ll finally convert some of my stitches to pillows, you make it seem very manageable!
You saw the state of my sewing skills here, it really doesn't take much to get a good end result. You can probably do a much better job without the camera in the way too. Do it, you know you want to! 😅
"Handsewing Detritus" is my new Punk Rock Goth band.
Fabulous video!
Haha, I can see it now
So Love seeing your videos show up here in the beautiful autumnal PNW of the USA…….You did indeed did teach this “Old Gray Mare” some new tricks…..I loved the Pom Pom action trim……You shared some tips that make me now want to hunt down some trim at a Thrift Store and practice my hand at it…..Yes More Spooky next week….
It's honestly such a simple way to get something that looks like it took a lot of effort, and of course the trim is very cheap which is always a bonus in my book! Thanks for the lovely comment as usual, if you do try this I'd love to know how it went :)
Thanks Michelle. 👏👏 Happy Crafting. ❤❤❤
Thank YOU for watching! 🥰
This was nice and easy to understand! I can always use more inspiration for how to finish cross stitch patterns, so I'd love to see what else you recommend :)
Yeah, I got a few too. Think I'll try it.
Thanks for this video! Always a good review for finishing and seeing basics. Also- I am notorious for getting to the 90% finishing mark on my projects, then they sit for a year lol.
This is so adorable.
Ah thanks! Love how it turned out
Hi Michell! Are you Scottish? Love your channel and yes I'm having the best Halloween EVER! I'm retired, just his last March 2023. Woo-hoo! No more boss giving me bad reviews after I knock myself out working nights and weekends plus working all day. Not a slave anymore. You bet I'm having a great Halloween. Thanks for asking.
Lovely quick tutorial! I just started to stitch your Halloween-Biscornu freebie today :) Had the pattern floating around here since month...
I would really love to see more videos about finishing-stuff!
Thanks for the kind words! And don’t worry, Allison and i aren’t sharing the Ko-Fi subscription. Only I (Stephanie) am using it and have the patterns. I just used the name for the account in case we ever do anything on Ko-Fi for my patterns down the road. Very cute pillow! ❤
Haha, don't worry I'm not gonna turn you in to the Ko-fi police 😂
What a delightful video! Once again, great tutorial. You break things down really well. Also, I love that pattern (I keep meaning to stitch it myself), it makes an adorably spooky pillow. :D
Ah thank you ❤️ It's up in pride of place on my crafting corner bookshelf now, love it!
Glad you like it :D🦇
Great video Michelle! I've lived that pattern since you showed it last year, thanks for the link to purchase it. I couldn't resist anymore. I'll probably steal your finishing technique too. If not for this pattern then definitely another. I love how it turned out. ❤
Thanks! Honestly as soon as I stitched this one up I could see it wanted to be a little pillow, it just took me a whole year to get around to it 😂 Do eeeeeeet!
Thanks so much 🖤 I'm glad you like my pattern 🦇
@@winternightmarecrochet love it!
"Hand sewing detritus" 🤣
When closing up, I also like to bury the tail of my thread by running the needle straight through the project. Tug it a little tight when you snip and the tail will pull itself back inside the fluff.
Ooh yes! I normally do that too, not sure why it didn't occur to me this time. Maybe because I was too busy cursing the black on black 😂 Great tip thank you!
I absolutely love the result.
I still don't know how I want to finish mine :D I wanted to opt for a classic framing but the pillow idea is super cute, I might get tempted!
I figured something that could survive being squished into a somewhat overflowing box with the rest of the ever-increasing Halloween collection would be a good shout, lol. Thanks again, really love the pattern!
Great video! I wonder, would you consider doing a video for how to fabric line a crochet bag? (Possibly including without a sewing machine?)
🎉❤ Very nice video, lovely lady! Can you make a tutorial how to sew a cross stitch Christmas stocking?
That's awesome! I'd love to know if you've ever tried weaving? I got a loom weaving kit from Aldi but I'm struggling a little. Would love your expert opinion (I've also got a dream catcher kit and a punch thingy kit if they are more to your tastes) love your helpful videos 👍
Honestly I never have, although I've been following a few weavers on Mastodon so you'll be unsurprised to hear I'm tempted. Do they, uh, still have these kits at Aldi? Asking for a friend.
