An embroidered heart picture. It was a bit of an experiment but it worked out quite well.

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Cotton Thread
  • 1 Square Cotton Material
  • Fabric Stretch Frame From Ikea

Steps (3 steps, 2220 minutes)

  1. 1

    I started with drawing a heart shape on a large piece of paper. Then I cut out pictures from a pattern book but you could draw your own. I then transferred the pattern on to a square piece of white cotton (an old sheet)

  2. 2

    Once your pattern is transferred on to your material embroider over the lines. You can use any style of embroidery but I just used a simple line stitch. Work your way around the pattern until it is finnished.

  3. 3

    When I finnished my embroidery I streatched it over a fabric frame I got at Ikea, but you could use any frame. Happy stiching :)
