I thought I would share my recent-ish embroidery projects with you today. I really love embroidery, I find it the perfect way to relax. I have taken the true love heart and the fan dancer from Embroidered Effects by Jenn Hart, if you are new to embroidery this book is amazing, not only does it teach you lots of the basic stitches but it also has loads of iron on transfers to play with. The little mushroom is based on a drawing from a graphics book I borrowed from the library. I copied the design onto my fabric using some grease proof paper and my Sulky iron on transfer pen.
My next embroidery project involves stitching some place mats, I bought 6 for £1 from this little antique shop I stumbled upon the other week. I need to decide on a theme, at the moment I am thinking pin ups and vegetables. Who wouldn't want to eat their dinner off a placemat with those two things on?!
Hope you are having a great week <3

Lovely! A few months (ok, maybe 9 or so) back I bought a bunch of embroidery supplies... and then I only ever stitched two basic pieces. I need to get back at it!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit like that, I do loads then nothing for months. I was surprised just how easy it was to pick up though.
DeleteThis is so cute! I wish I could learn how to embroider... maybe someday! haha. Maybe I'll pick up the book you mentioned!
