One of my favorite crafts to do when I was little, and still do today, is embroidery. This craft enables the creator to do something simple or exquisite, and since I love to dress plain things up just a little bit, this is a great way to go about it! A few tools one will need are:
*an embroidery pattern or pencil (if getting pattern, one also needs an iron to iron it on)
*A pair of scissors
*An embroidery hoop, needle (also called Crewel), and some colored Floss
*whatever object you'd like to embroider on (shown here are plain gerber onesies)
These can be a simple gift to a pregnant co-worker, a far away expecting friend, or a set for an in-the-family mother.
Trace or iron-on your transfer, set the embroidery hoop tightly around your picture (NOT both sides! Just one side or you'll stitch them together!), thread your needle and cut a long piece. Knot the end, and go through the object from the inside to the out. Follow these simple directions (from the folks at Threadbanger!) and you'll be set to just 'trace' along your picture with the needle! It may take some practice, but this is one of the easiest and cheapest hobbies around!*an embroidery pattern or pencil (if getting pattern, one also needs an iron to iron it on)

These are for my little Peanut Lady! I love unicorns, and rainbows, and there is no better place to get awesome iron-on transfers than Sublime Stitching!! I LOVE all their designs!
