Ballet Cross Stitch Patterns

Ballet Cross Stitch Patterns & Ballerina Cross Stitch Patterns

Ballet is perhaps the most beautiful and graceful of all of dance and what little girl hasn't at one time or another aspired to be a ballerina. On this page I have collected together as many ballet inspired cross stitch patterns that I could find. They vary in complexity so there is sure to be patterns for both experienced stitchers as well as novice.

These patterns are for anyone who loves the art of ballet and dance or who knows someone who does. There is a large section on beautiful and decorative ballet cross stitch patterns, my favorite of which is the Degas Ballet cross stitch DVD which features many of his beautiful paintings available as cross stitch patterns. Also we have another large grouping of cute and personalized patterns that would be a great addition for your little ballerina's room.

Be sure to book mark this page as new patterns will be added often.

Doing Your Own Thing With A Cross Stitch Kit

For Framing Tips & Tips On How To Crate A Beatiful Cross Stitch Please Visit This Lens

So recently one of my favorite cross stitch clients said that the thing she dislike most often about cross stitch kits was that so many of them came with 14 count white aida. That she now hates 14 count white aida. So I thought I might address a few ideas for changing things around and taking a prepackaged kit and making it your own.

Changing The Fabric Color

Even though the cross stitch kit you get comes with 14 count white aida. It certainly doesn't mean your stuck with it.

Heck turn it into a dust rag (or perhaps stash it away for another project) and select another aida for your current cross stitch project.
* Change The Count - Simply changing the count from 14 to 16, 18 or 20 will tighten down the image giving it the appearance of far more detail and refinement.
* Change the color - This gets a little more tricky because often how a thread looks on white will look different on another color. But generally changing your light color aida or linen for another light colored aida or linen should work well.

If you want a dramatic fabric color change I would suggest taking the most prominent colors along and lay them on the fabric that you are thinking of using. This will help you to see if they clash or coordinate.

A important consideration to ask yourself is ... do the floss colors lose the vibrancy when laid next to this fabric.



Changing The Floss Color

This is a far more tricky operation than switching the cross stitch fabric. If you are naturally good with selecting color it should be no trouble but if you are uncertain here's a tip.

Let's say you want to change a women's dress from green to blue. Simply pull all the green dress colors and find a similar value shade of blue. By that I mean when looking over the floss find one that visually fits in the same family as the green. They are the same lightness, vibrancy and tone. Merely replace all the colors for matching tonal colors in the new color palette your creating.

Once again be careful that the new colors work well with your fabric and don't get lost and also that they don't clash with the other cross stitch design colors. If the new colors are indeed of the same tonal value and shade the transition should be flawless.

Swapping floss colors might be best handled in small stages until you get a firm grasp on what your doing.



Adding Embellishments

Adding beads or ribbons can bring a sparkle bit of dazzle and elegance to cross stitch designs. Adding a beaded necklace or halo can make your needlework all that much more personal.

Size and color are the most important aspects to consider when adding embellishments -Things to consider when selecting beads or ribbons is to make sure that the beads are size appropriate for the cross stitch you are going to be using them on. When in doubt simply adding clear beads will still give you some sparkle without throwing off your color scheme.

    I have been for a ballet cross stitch or needlework that I found on-line about eight years ago and haven't been able to find it recently. It is a line of dancers in silhouette on a bar. I think there were six dancers??

    Hmmm, can't say that I've seen this but if I do run across it I will definitely add it. Patterns come and go quite a bit and I also have access to (for the most part) the more major companies. But again, I'll keep an eye out.
