London City Map

$ 3.95

This modern blackwork cross stitch steampunk design presents a stylized map of London made of cogs and gears.

Description

Framed design

 

The design is shown on 14 count Aida fabric, but you may also use evenweave or fabric with a different count.

Design Area: 7.00″ x 8.93″ (98 x 125 stitches)

– You may opt to omit the secondary streets, drafted in DMC-167 for a more minimalistic look. It is best to decide on this early, as it is better to stitch the local streets, and then the main streets on top of them. – You may also omit the outer gear and the numbers, if you don’t intend to use the embroidery for a clock. – For the clock marking, look for a french knot symbol in the center of the map.
