Flosstube Extra | How I travel with Cross Stitch + Pack w/ me!

Summary AI

Rachel from Lemonade Stitching shares how she prepares her craft projects for a week-long trip to Italy. She explains her criteria for choosing projects, which include the number of colours, ease of seeing the fabric, pattern complexity, and whether she needs to refer to the pattern constantly. She opts to leave her iPad at home to save space and avoid risk, so she prints out patterns and uses the Markup app on her phone as a backup.

• Rachel packs two cross stitch projects: Golden Comb Berries and Coneflower Chorus by The Blue Flower.
• She demonstrates how to transfer Markup files from iPad to iPhone via AirDrop for backup.
• She cleans out her travel stitching case, keeping essentials like scissors, needles, and Snag Nab-its.
• She prepares a vanilla sock from the Crazy Sock Lady for knitting, including finishing the toe and organising stitch markers.
• She kits up a vintage needlepoint canvas with silk and ivory thread, transferring wool onto floss cards.
• She chooses a single project bag to hold both cross stitch and needlepoint, with a small zipper pouch for day trips.
