Resting Stitch Face counted cross stitch chart

A play on the famous description "resting b*tch face", this fun cross stitch design shows a typical stitcher's "resting STITCH face".

In the designer's words:

"As soon as Resting Beach Face released…the emails for Resting Stitch Face started pouring in! Who am I to say no?!

I identify so much with this sassy stitcher whether she’s soaking up the rays of sunshine or from the glow of her stitching lamp!

The very definition of a ‘fun stitch’..."

Designer's colour choices:

"I used 3774 for my particular skin tone & 434 for the hair (I had to double check with my hairstylist – only she knows for sure).

3774 – 950 – 3064 – this is my spectrum from fairly pale to garden time tan

951 & 948 are my top picks for very pale without looking too peachy
