What's better than stripes? Stripes as mountains of course! A lovely design for @fcandorra 🪡⚽️

Sometimes 3rd kits can be a bit odd, and sometimes they absolutely hit the mark, a lovely colour scheme for @BrentfordFCW 🐝 #CrossStitch ⚽️🪡

About time i stitched some stripes again, so back to last season's (I'm still working through a backlog...) lovely colour combo from @ADODenHaag #ComeOnTheHaag

Another work trip in the offing, so clearly i need to get organised for stitching 🪡⚽️

So, Cross stitch peeps, it's supposed to look like the shirt in the pic, so I tried stitching over the base colour with white to get the subtle colour effect, but I'm not sure it's working, any ideas on how to recover it?

Another lovely shirt, this time from Energie Cottbus and i do like the crest 🤩 #WIR #CrossStitch

A little late to the party given that it's last season's but still an absolute cracker from @FCBasel1893 #FCBasel1893 #imRotblaueRusch #CrossStitch ⚽️🪡🇨🇭
