Free Embroidery Pattern - Vroom Vroom!

FREE

I realized I haven't yet offered a free embroidery pattern. What an egregious oversight! And one I can remedy RIGHT NOW!

What you get:
  • Regular pattern
  • Reversed pattern
  • Complete color and stitch guide
Skills you need: (links take you to the free video tutorials)
Time you need:
  • a couple of hours
This is a great pattern for beginners. It's super easy - just a bunch of backstitching and one lone French knot. I colored the image in with colored pencils before stitching, but you could certainly fill with the fancy stitch of your choice.

If I were doing this again I would probably do all the outlining in DMC #3371 - I love that whimsical cartoony look. But I already showed you all an example of that here and I wanted to let you see the different look you get by outlining with matching thread. Remember - one of the great things about embroidery is that you get the image - but you can make it look however you like with your choice of color and stitches.

So enjoy this free pattern! If you've never tried embroidery, this is a really easy project to start with.

FREE
Happy stitching!

Best,
Wendi
