Monster Mash Embroidery Pattern

$5.00

Now that you know how to embroider eyes, I thought I'd design a pattern that has a whole bunch of them. Meet the monsters!

What you get:
  • Regular pattern
  • Reversed pattern
  • Complete color and stitch guide
Skills you need to make it exactly as you see here: (links take you to the free video tutorials)
Time you need:
  • a few evenings
What do you do with all this embroidery anyway? Here are just a few ideas for these guys:
  • Embroider the design as-is and make a pillow, a tote bag, or a quilt block.
  • Choose your favorite monster and enlarge it to fit on a T-shirt.
  • Stitch a row of monsters across the bottom of a hand towel.
  • Or how about one giant one at the base of a bath towel?
  • I might make a strip of them along the edge of a scarf.
  • What about one peeking up from a cuff in a pair of pants?
  • Oooh! Or one peeking out of a pocket?! My daughter would like that idea.
What do you think? Any other ideas how to use this pattern? Share them in the comments! Or, better yet, stitch it up and then show it off in the Shiny Happy Embroidery School Flickr group!

$5.00

Have fun and happy stitching!

  1. I am a huge fan of your blog but you just hit number one with this embroidery pattern. I have been searching for a boy pattern that isn't vehicle or robot related and this is divine.
    THANK YOU!!!!!
