A Free Embroidery Tutorial

I have another little project to share with you. I also have a crochet project that is getting closer to being ready to go up on the blog. But first the book mark.

This is a great project for when you need a quick gift for some one. It shows off your embroidery skills and shows that you care enough to spend the time to make something by hand.

Book Mark

Finished Size:3in by 7 in.
Item Needed 

• Fabric 
• felt or interfacing to put in between the fabric pieces
• embroidery floss
• embroidery needle 
• pinking shears
• embroidery hoop

 Start by drawing a simple pattern that will fit in a 3 by 7 inch space.

 Take the fabric out of the hoop. Add the interfacing and other piece of fabric stacking it with fabric facing up, interfacing, and fabric facing down. Cut the stack so that it measures 3 by 7 and with the embroidery picture centered.

Add a chain stitch around the outside edges of the book mark.
Tip: Start with your tail in between your layer of fabrics.

Finish off by trimming the book mark with pinking shears.

Now Go, and enjoy a good book.
