I couldn't tell from the top pic how much was printed and how much was sewn. I might have to get some for my nieces sometime so they have something more fun than towels to work on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/embroidery#post-2344221 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 11:55:39 +0000 Oxana 2344221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mama Bird: That is so cute! It'll be a keepsake your children will treasure, for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/embroidery#post-2344218 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 11:54:24 +0000 Oxana 2344218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: Sure! Here's a link to the general shop page:</p> <p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/kirikipress" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/shop/kirikipress</a></p> <p>And if you click on a particular animal's $18 kit, you see a close up picture of what it looks like. (The $39 kit includes a hoop, scissors, etc. while the $18 kits just have the fabric and stuffing.)</p> <p>The plushies are divided into three beginner levels. The sloth and monkey are Level 1, and the shop owner told me those are what she recommends for children juts learning to embroider. Level 2 and Level 3 use the same stitches but differ in the amount of embroidery involved, so Level 2 animals (fox, squirrel, etc.) take 5 - 6 hours to make while the Level 3 animals (raccoon, owl, etc.) take 15 - 20 hours. </p> <p>Here's a close up of the raccoon. </p> [attach=6688/15/nxauyo.570x380.il_570xN.764773004_mmqw.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/embroidery#post-2344176 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 11:32:34 +0000 MaryM 2344176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Oxana: Can you post a link? I want to see closer up. </p> <p>I dabble in a little embroidery, but mostly do crochet. But I usually carry an embroidery project to clear my mind if I need a break from crochet. I've been working on the same set of four napkins for far too long! They have cherries in the corners. </p> <p>My 11 year old niece does beautiful work though. She recently mastered the french knot and is obsessed with them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/embroidery#post-2343951 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 10:01:04 +0000 Mama Bird 2343951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh that's so cute! I have something like that on my to-do list, if I ever have the time!</p> <p>Last year I made a little fabric book - there wasn't much embroidery involved, just stitching the edges of all the fabric bits. It turned out a little funny looking, but I still like it :happy: </p> [attach=4958/15/nxapps.600x400.IMG_2265.JPG] [attach=4958/15/nxappt.600x400.IMG_2266.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/embroidery#post-2343941 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 09:54:31 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2343941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those are super cute. I bought a sew-your-own stocking kit and made LO's Christmas stocking. I need to find another one to work on in 2016 because LO2 will be here and need one next year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/embroidery#post-2343921 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 09:40:48 +0000 Alivoo01 2343921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to cross stitch all the time as a kid too!! I make the family's halloween costume every year and mend stuff here and there, but that's about it. Too lazy now although I'd love to pick it up again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/embroidery#post-2343785 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 07:25:32 +0000 Greentea 2343785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That so cute! I always try to make all of our presents... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/embroidery#post-2343740 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 03:40:00 +0000 hellobeeboston 2343740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So cute!! I would love to do something like this but, zero extra time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/embroidery#post-2343713 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 23:58:11 +0000 lemondrop 2343713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very cute! I'd like to get back into it, but haven't done it since before kids and my current job. I like them since they are like putting together a puzzle. </p> <p>I'm trying to accomplish some kind of simpler craft each week for now to build into a longer term project like doing cross stitches again. I'm the queen of unfinished projects, so here's hoping I can finish a few! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/embroidery#post-2343698 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 22:53:31 +0000 Oxana 2343698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone here do embroidery? I did some cross stitching as a child, but that's about it. Then I came across <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/150458462/embroidery-starter-kit-beginner">this Etsy shop</a> and decided to buy one of their kits to make our toddler a little plushie for Christmas. If it's not too hard, I'll definitely be buying other animals from that shop.</p> <p>I thought it'd be fun to start a thread (haha) where people share what they've sewn recently. Bonus points if you can point me to other cute beginner projects like this one! </p> [attach=6688/15/nx9ut8.570x380.il_570xN.764768492_9fwr.jpg]
