Using pixels as a template, I cross stitched some of Rensis' favorite Pokemon onto his towels.

It was a bit of an experiment, since I'm going to be doing the same thing to mine for a Mario Underwater theme. :D

* Mudkip (bottom) was hand stitched directly on the towel (the initial cross stitch fabric was pulled out after).
* Hoppip (second up) was done the same way, but with more thread.
* Combee was first stitched onto cross stitch fabric, then cut out, reinforced on the edges and sewn on kinda like a patch. This made it a heck of a lot easier to complete (instead of dragging a towel around), but the process of cutting it out and making sure it doesn't unravel is a big pain.

If you're going to stitch right on the towel (using cross stitch fabric as a guide) use:

14 count fabric
3 strands (for 14 count or lower) of thread/floss
and make sure the stitches are loose.

That way you can pull out the cross stitch fabric easily! The mudkip was done with only 2 strands each, which is why you can see through it. D:

My first stitches were a little tight, so I had a really hard time getting that cross stitch fabric out. :O

Three roses laid upon the bower,
A scythe for he who cuts the flower,
A crown, a dove, most noble race!
Thy bones make sacred this dread place.
