Which magazine does this come from (cross stitching)?
I did this year's ago, but as you can see, I cut the fabric way too close to the edge and to frame it, I will need to hide a bit of work, which I really do not want to do, so I want to cross stitch it again, but cannot remember where I got the pattern from.
Thank you Lib.rare.ian. Althought not the answer I was searching for, you gave me a great idea and have succeeded. Just need to find a frame to fit, as the one I found, still hinds a bit of the skirt. Also, rectified a bit of outline stitching, which had come undone.

Just a suggestion: You can fix this problem by stitching a couple of inches of extra fabric around the edge of the finished embroidery. The extra fabric would used to tack the piece in place in the frame, and would be hidden by any matting and framing.

It is very good and lovely. The advice from your first answerer sounds good and I suggest you give that a try. It would be sad for all that work to not be preserved.
I did some embroider when a teenager - taught by my paternal grandmother. It took me a long time and I never use the items. I just get them out to show people on occasions and am so pleased that she had all that patience to teach me. These arts of being lost because many of us are not passing on these skills to 'our' children. Sadly, most youngsters don't want to be taught these things - "It's easier to go and buy one" they'll say.
