Easy Embroidery

Although I don't embroider as much as I used to, I do enjoy a quick hand stitching project from time to time to switch things up a little. These are easy projects that anyone with the most basic of needlework ability can do. As an online resource, Needlecrafter.com has a wonderful library of free embroidery patterns. And if you don't embroider, the graphics can simply be adorable clip art!

(The frame is an inexpensive IKEA stock item.)


(These preprinted pillowcases were purchased from Michael's. But I have also bought different colors of pillowcases from stores like Home Goods and copied graphics onto them with washable tracing paper.)

Here is a link to a printable embroidery stitch guide.

  1. I think you could make a collection of themed pictures to hang in a group. For a little boys room the animals are adorable, and for a girls room you could do fun fabrics and stitch simple dresses, shoes, purses, etc onto it!
