I made some mini embroideries this week – and when I say mini, I mean really mini! The wood hoops were 20 mm or about 1 inch!
Working in such a small size was challenging – especially attaching the teeny, tiny hardware. I could barely even see the little screws. I knew I needed to make the embroideries as small as possible with very little detail. Getting them centered in the wood hoops was impossible for me! But no matter; I’m happy with how they turned out!
I put the little duckie embroidery in the dollhouse bathroom. I can’t even get a focused picture of it!
I put the little flower embroidery on the shelf in the sewing room.
The rest of the embroideries will have to wait until I have places for them.
I also sewed this little lamb using the Willow Lamb pattern from Koala and Mila. I digitized the face in my embroidery software and made it into a patch that I sewed onto the Sherpa fleece. The fleece is stretchy and messy, but I actually didn’t have too much trouble working with it. I love how forgiving it is, especially for hand sewing – my stitches don’t show at all in the bumpy fleece!
She’s a bit too big for my dollhouse, but I don’t mind. I love dolls of all sizes!
Wishing you a great week!
Michelle, your tiny embroidery hoops are awesome! Absolutely adorable!!! :):)
And Lamby is very sweet! I love dollhouses that accept all varieties of inhabitants!
Thank you so much, Betsy! I love those kinds of dollhouses too! ❤️
The lamb doll is so cute – I’ll have to check out their patterns.
Thank you, Sew Thready. They have the cutest patterns, and they’re so much fun to sew. I’d highly recommend them!
Your mini embroideries are so cute, Michelle! I can’t imagine trying to work with such tiny pieces!
Thank you, Amelia Jane! It was definitely a struggle to work with such small items!
The duckie in the bathroom! Eeee! Look at that tiny flower embroidery! This is just the cutest thing and omg it must have been tricky to do that. You have SKILLS, girl!!!
Thank you so much, Nicole! As the years go by, small things seem to get even smaller! 🤣
