I have a normal white skirt and would like to stitch some patterns from a cross stitch book on it. It's made up of normal fabric, not cross stitch cloth. Are there any tips and tricks on how to cross stitch on clothes?

Those pants look awesome! Do you do anything special for washing them or does the stitching hold up pretty well?

I just wash them normally at 30°C and hang dry. I'm pretty sure i did the loop-start and then just weaving the thread under when ending, but a bit more than usual, but nothing else to protect it. And they look just as good now 3 years later.
