Hello everybody,
I recently started stitching again and now I would like to make a sign for the door to my toilet. Since I am in love with cute piggies I would like to stitch a piggy on a toilet, pooping coins.
Here is the original image:
Spoiler
I tried to make a pattern out of it and this is the result I got:
I am not happy at all about the coins. I tried to make them manually, but I failed badly... Also I lost the curly tail in the process.
Anybody can help me?
I am a self learner who started stitching in high school. After years of break I am finally back to cross stitching, thanks to this forum!
Going on projects:
- Wedding birds (framing phase)
- still undecided

I did what I could with the coins, but I wasn't able to make them look angled like in the original picture. I added a tiny tail, and also took the liberty of adjusting the eye and adding some detail to the newspaper - I hope you don't mind! I also used some slightly different colours than yours (but feel free to choose your own if you prefer!)
Please let me know if I can help any more

I love it!!
The idea of making the coins vertical is simple, but very nice... Should have thought about this possibility... I like the choice of colors too, I will use them. The gradation of grays will be very nice.
The tail in backstitching will be a bit small... Do you think I can use two treads to make it? I usually use one but maybe with 2 it will be visible enough.

Yes, I think that's a great idea!

Awesome! Now it's time to buy the treads and start working on it!
Thanks again!

Just incase anyone is thinking about doing this stitch here's my version. Stitched from my stash so colours do not match up, and I edited the brown for black and then added back stitching around the toilet. A lot of fun to stitch, and it only took a day.
Picture is from my iPhone so apologies if it's the wrong way round.

OMG I see your post only now and it's awesome!!
I love how it turned out!!!
Because of some personal problems I haven't made it yet, so I am super happy somebody else got the chance to make it. It's sooooo cute and the detail of the back stitching around the toilet is nice.
