I have been wanting to learn how to embroider for a few months now, but haven't really done a lot about it. Well, today I decided with the restart of my blogging I am also going to start towards my goal of learning to embroider. If you don't know how to either, why not start with me? C'mon, it'll be fun! There are tons of helpful resources online. My favorite is Sublime Stitching. They have super fun patterns, a how-to section, and awesome starter kits...
If you don't want to purchase a kit you can run down to your local craft store and pick up these items:
embroidery hoop
embroidery floss
embroidery needle
something to stitch on (tea towel)
small sharp scissors
pattern
*you may also want to pick up a transfer pen or pencil so you can iron on any pattern you choose.
doe-c-doe has lots of pretty FREE vintage embroidery patterns!
How sweet is she?
I won't be picking up my supplies until tomorrow because I'm a busy bee today trying to update my shop with all of the seriously amazing treasures I have found over the past few days. I was a true picker yesterday digging through mounds of stuff in a big old barn for hours on end. I was in heaven :-).I'll post pics of the treasures later. Have a fantastic afternoon!
xoxo,
Lin
