Vintage Car
This delightful cross stitch pattern captures the timeless elegance of an early twentieth-century motor car, with its upright cab, running boards, and deep teal coachwork rendered in a beautifully compact design. The muted, classic palette gives the finished piece a sophisticated, nostalgic quality that sits wonderfully in a frame.
Whether you have a soft spot for vintage vehicles or are simply drawn to retro style, this pattern is a lovely project to work through at your own pace. It also makes a thoughtful handmade gift for anyone who appreciates motoring history or classic transport.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so use the DMC column for those brands.CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so the codes above cover them too.
These lengths include the thread lost to tails and travelling, so they are what to buy rather than what ends up on the fabric. A spare skein of your main colours is still worth having, because dye lots vary between batches and matching one part way through is the hard part.
HobbyTub also converts to Ariadna, CXC, Gamma, Luca-S and Sullivans. Pick your brand when you start the project.
