As with any embroidery pattern - you get to decide what stitches and colors you want to use. I designed this pattern especially for beginners who are just starting out with the running stitch - but that doesn't mean you have to use the running stitch. Make the drops more drop-like by using a lazy daisy stitch. That would be lovely! Change the smiling face to a grumpy face and have it rain dark grey drops. Fun! Change the streaks of rain to rows of French knots. Fancy! Fill in the cloud with swirls of puffy white. It's totally up to you!
If you want to copy exactly what you see in the image above - that's what the stitch and color guide is for.

I think this is such a great idea! I've only learned to sew by kinda making things up as I go along...it will be so awesome to learn how to use my supplies - and to sew - correctly. Maybe my projects will start turning out better? Recognizable? Actually complete?? lol Thank you for all the work you're doing - it's amazing! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the nice comment! I'm self-taught too - maybe one of these days I'll share some of my more entertaining early projects.:-)
