Freebie Friday – Breezy Flip Flops!
Friday, May 20, 2011
It’s time for a Friday Freebie… TGIF!
This week’s free pattern offering is this chart featuring four pairs of brightly-colored flip flops on a clothesline – just in time for warm-weather stitching fun.
The pattern is worked using DMC Embroidery Floss on CharlesCraft 14-count Aida.
Work the design in cross stitch, half cross stitch or needlepoint. Stitch diagrams for your chosen stitching method can be found here.
This design measures about 15″x4.5″ when finished and would look awesome worked on the back of a beach coverup, worked on the front or pocket of a tote bag, or simply framed and enjoyed as a summer decor piece.
You can also use just a single pair of flips flop as a smaller accent on a project, or add some summer sparkle by stitching selected areas of the design using DMC Light Effects thread!
Or, add a 3-dimensional effect by couching the clothesline in Memory Thread!
Get the free pattern here and enjoy!

They are so cute. I just saw a pattern for a crocheted afghan that had flip flops crocheted onto it. Looks like a lot of work. This would be easier and just as cute. Love it!
Cute. I can’t WEAR flip-flops but looking at them won’t give me blisters between my toes.
This is a really cute pattern. But, where can I get a tote bag to do this on?
Oooh – I have the PERFECT solution! Check out these CharlesCraft ready-to-stitch totes!
My daughters LOVE flip flops!! I will have to cross stitch these on t-shirts for them! Thanks,
