Grid: Saint-Tropez, the art of idleness, Cross Stitch Creation

Summer is settling in on the French Riviera, and the first sunbeams invite relaxation. Suspended as if after a swim in the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, this striped swimsuit instantly evokes holidays, long days at the beach, and the gentle pace of life in Saint-Tropez.

Between warm sand, sparkling sea, and azure sky, every detail of this creation recalls the relaxed elegance of Southern seaside resorts. The nautical stripes, sunglasses, and small beach accessories compose a simple and charming scene, full of carefree lightness.

Presented in a frame, this design becomes a true holiday souvenir to display in a seaside home, a bathroom, or a marine-themed bedroom. Its luminous colours and clean graphics perfectly match decor inspired by beach huts and fishermen's houses.

The designs were embroidered on white Aida fabric, 5.5 stitches/cm, which perfectly highlights the details. Its regular weave provides a crisp and precise finish, ideal for capturing all the finesse of the patterns.

These creations can also be made on 11-thread/cm linen fabric, embroidered over 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads, to achieve similar dimensions.

Pattern size: 112 stitches wide × 183 stitches high. Embroidery dimensions: approximately 20.4 × 33.3 cm on 11-thread/cm linen fabric embroidered over 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads, or on 5.5 stitches/cm Aida fabric.
