Question for those who sew... I have some flannel pajama bottoms with an opening at the front that I want to close up. There is doubled-up cloth there, like where a zipper would go, but no zipper.
What type of stitch would you use to close this?
My mending is very un-trained and mostly visible sock darning or reattaching buttons. But this seems like there should be a proper stitch type to learn for sealing two overlapping flaps of cloth neatly.
Embellished my Kindle ebook reader cover with a cross stitched bookshelf.

This sailboat, sea and sand may look familiar because it is another partial chart similar to one I completed previously. This iteration has a lighthouse.

This cross stitch dream catcher with lots of backstitching was a little rough on my eyes, but I finished it!

Another quick and easy. This time a cute succulent.

Stitched this a few weeks ago. Another design I shortened as it was actually part of a border.

Is it normal that I'm starting to doubt all my life's choices and if I should redo elementary school... if I can't even count with crochet stitching!!?

By the way, I've found some very nice cross stitch books (like this one) at reasonable prices on Thrift Books.
@marshant@mastodon.scotI can't decide where to put the large label on my #quilt 
I'd intended to put it in the middle to cover the otherwise boring-from-the-back starburst centre but I dunno if it then looks too bold and takes attention away from the pretty #stitching.
Open to opinions from #quilting folk, won't get the chance to #sew it on until late tonight.
Relatedly, I've decided on a name for this Little Prince themed quilt: "Bright Hopes and Laughing Stars"
This small piece was an experiment of sorts. I found a pattern for a large piece, but just stitched part of it to make it small enough to put on a greeting card. Also, I don't think I have the bandwidth right now for a large project.

These cat and ball of yarn cross stitch pieces will probably end up being a greeting card for someone.
