Trying Out Embroidery

I thought I’d give embroidery a try.

It’s very early days, and I still need to practice the fancier stitches, but it’s quite a nice instant result in its basic form.

I’ve got myself some stencils and wash-away sticky paper to put the designs on. Hoping to try printing some designs on the paper soon.

For now, I am pretty pleased with the results I have so far.

This was a practice piece, using stencils. I’m quite proud of the bee, but the rest is a bit iffy.
Stencils again. Completely messed up the small hearts. The colourful heart was fiddly. It’s not perfect but I’m still pleased with it.
This used letter stencils, so I had to work out spacing and all that. The “sun” is actually a habit tracker stencil I adapted.
