Embroider Whatever You Like

Hello! I am a typical consumer of boring and dull things. When it comes to my socks, though, I like to be a little crafty. I hope this can be the easy-to-digest format of how I always enjoy a little flare to my wardrobe. I hope you can both see and respect my drip.

While modern sewing machines can embellish garments and products in a number of ways, you can achieve personalized effects when you embroider by hand. There is much to learn about hand-embroidery, but with practice comes mastery of technique.

1)embroidery floss

2)sewing needle

3)tiny scissors

4)table space

5)item you want to put embroidery on( in my case, a pair of socks)

6)a SMILE and a good playlist before you begin.

7)Maybe a snack too

8)Sip of your choice

Optional: Embroidery hoop

You will want to make sure the last two are taken seriously , because it can get a little pokey if you have to get up and down once you begin.

Choose an original design or Clip Art you would like to stitch and sketch on your fabric. Pencil or water-soluble pens work best.

I chose cherries here.

• Choose thread colors.
• Embroidery floss works well, but any thread will work

Thread needle. If you struggle with threading use needle threader.

• Stitch with fill color.
• make sure you come up through the back of the fabric near your first stitch.

Outline your design.

Give it some details!

Enjoy your new personalized item! You can wear it in a boring traditional way, or you can give it to your best raccoon friend!
