Gifts for Final Fantasy fans: handmade pixel cross stitch
Shopping for someone who still hums the Prelude, names their pets after chocobos, or has opinions about the best Final Fantasy? A store-bought mug won't cut it.
Everything below is a pixel-art cross stitch, hand-stitched one X at a time from the sprites fans know by heart. Pick a finished piece ready to hang, or a PDF pattern for the crafter who wants to stitch it themselves.
I'm a one-person shop in Nicosia, Cyprus, and every finished piece is made to order. If you're buying for Christmas, please order early (more on dates at the end).
