I never seem to tire of designing stitching themed things!
This little cutie has a big, plump sewing tomato to go along with some needles and pins, scissors and spools of thread. Honestly, it makes me happy just looking at it! I mean, come on, that tomato is pretty great, right?
One of my favorite things about these Skinny Mini patterns is how flexible they are, especially with finishing choices. You can keep it very simple like I have here - there's no trim at all - just stitch it, sew it into a long skinny pillow and fill it with your favorite filler!
Or you can dress it up - add a chenille or ric rac trim, add a fabric border or some vintage buttons (I think a row of vintage buttons would be adorable along the bottom of this design :) ...whatever tickles your fancy.
I love seeing all the different versions!

You can pre-order your copy from your favorite local or online needlework shop! Our Auto Shops get these designs before anyone else.
Supporting our cross stitch shops and community is a primary concern for me, so I always encourage you to purchase my designs from your favorite local or online needlework shop. It's for this reason that you won't see my newest designs available for sale on my own website for a few months after they are released.
Check out our Needlework Shops page to find a shop near you, or an online shop.

I'm Robin, the designer behind October House. You've found my blog, where I ramble on about stitching and sewing and anything else that catches my fancy!
I love quiet colors, gentle stitches and making things by hand.
