Patterns: Butterfly

Stitched by aimee d

Aimee d has stitched this lovely pattern which is part of a set by Urban Threads called Miniature Menagerie. I love how it feels like an old scientific illustration. There's also a free quilt design to go with the set.

Tutorial Tuesday

Happy Tuesday, everyone and Happy New Year!

I have a tutorial roundup to share with you today. Each tutorial has some great instructions for how to create a fun and functional item using embroidery.

If you want to add a little color to your table now that the holiday decorations are packed away, Anna Maria Horner has an excellent tutorial for a table scarf. This is a pdf file, so make sure you have Adobe reader in order to access it.

Kylie Hunt provided the Flower Press blog with an excellent tutorial for creating a floral brooch using vintage fabric as her pattern. Access the tutorial here.

Urban Threads has a great tutorial for creating silhouettes using a satin stitch. Check out their tutorial here.

Lilipopo has a darling embroidered glasses case tutorial over at her blog. It's a super cute case and quick to make.

Hope you get to try some of these out. Hope you have a happy Tuesday!

Patterns: Needle Power

Needle Power stitched by xperimentl - pattern by Urban Threads

At the risk of repeating myself, as I blogged about another Urban Threads pattern last week, I just had to blog about this one, as xperimentl as produced such a unique twist to this, with the great choice of colours and oooh, that lovely appliqué! You can find the pattern, called Craft Revolution, here. How many different ways could you imagine doing this pattern?

Patterns: Steampunk Santa

Steampunk Santa WIP - stitched by sereniticat

It's never too early to get ready for Christmas it seems (I have to admit my to stitch list for Christmas is beginning to nag at me). Sereniticat has made an amazingly admirable start with the Steampunk Santa pattern from Urban Threads. I just adore the detailing on this, the little gold beads for buttons, the different textural stitches and of course the fluffy beard! I can't wait to see the finished piece!
