I’m working on a few different projects at the moment, involving fiction and stitching alike. But, because I am really pleased with how one project is going, I thought I’d post a teaser photo of my forthcoming pendant/keychain-sized embroidery pattern:
This tester/experimental piece isn’t perfect: I used cheap thread from a kit, I don’t have gold jump hoops in my stash of findings, and I haven’t erased the heat-erasable pen I used to draw the pattern. (While the inked lines of the pattern are visible after sewing, they’re not horribly obvious in real life. Folks with non-erasable or washable pens and markers should still give this project a go!) It turned out much cuter than expected, though, so I’ll be keeping it.
The hoop is a pendant-sized hoop I bought from Spotlight, and I know folks may not have access to one of this specific size, making it problematic to offer up a pattern! But this piece also looks good set inside a 7.5 cm / 3 inch round hoop for wall art, and I’m working on making this design into a patch. If you can’t source mini oval embroidery hoops, you’ll still be able to sew this.
The best part about this piece? It’s so quick to stitch up!
