sewing

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, which means that your wedding dress is one of the most significant pieces of clothing you'll ever wear. Most brides go down the traditional route of spending a lot of money on a white dress, but some like to do things a little differently. These women decided to sew their wedding dresses themselves, creating their dream designs at a dream price! Not only are the pieces creative, but they are one of a kind. It must feel great knowing that you've created your own wedding dress and can proudly walk down the aisle in your show stopper.

We've bought you one collection of rude cross stitches that your grandma will find offensive, and this new haul is no better. They might be even more disrespectful than the first. Available on Etsy by OhWowStitch, these cross stitches with snarky sentiments sewed onto them definitely aren't the Bible quote cross stitches you'll find hanging on Grandma's wall. Warning: don't scroll down if you're easily offended.

When you think of cross stitch (or any type of embroidery), you probably picture a sweet little old grandma sitting in a rocking chair, creating something wholesome. And it's almost definitely Jesus related. But these rude cross stitches certainly weren't made by grandmas. And if they were, sign me up to be their granddaughter! Scroll through these less-than-wholesome embroideries and laugh. Would you hang any of these up in your house?

If you're like me when it comes to sewing, you're essentially useless. But some people have insane talent when given a needle and thread, like UK-based embroidery artist Sew Beautiful. Their embroidered wall hangings of breathtaking landscapes are like having little snapshots of mother nature in your home, and somehow they are better than photographs. The detail that the artist manages to capture simply using yarn is incredible and I've fallen in love with their work. Check out some of the stunning pieces below and then check out their Instagram page for more of the same.
