I wanted to share a little free stitch guide for my Spa Day canvas, featuring how I personally stitched it! This version highlights the brunette spa girl, but I’m always happy to create guides for customized versions as well 🤍
Spa Day (Fair/Brunette) Round:
Background - Silk & Ivory 33 Taffy; Vertical Satin Stitch (going over two intersections diagonally, alternating colors for every vertical column)
Background - Silk & Ivory 02 White; Vertical Satin Stitch (going over two intersections diagonally, alternating colors for every vertical column)
Skin Tone - Essentials 624 Lamb; Basketweave
Skin Shadows - Essentials 537 Silt; Basketweave
Hair/Eyebrows - DMC 6 Strand Floss; Basketweave (I personally don't strand my floss and have no issues with the thickness -- I'm a full coverage girl!)

I have also included a link to the backing fabric I used for this ornament from Spoonflower!
