One of the most enjoyable activities has been the embroidery on these 0000 size singlets.
Really they have been a quick and satisfying project and I love how they have turned out. However somehow I have managed to lose the other lady beetle one I completed and am leaving the last two till the baby arrives, in case it is a girl. If so I want to add more 'girly' embroidery to it instead of the flowers and bug theme.
The stitches I used, as I am a beginner in this, as with most of my crafts are:
lazy daisy stitch for the flowers
satin stitch for the bee body and lady beetle body
half a lazy daisy for the bee wings
back stitch for the antennae
french knots for the bee eyes and spots on the lady beetles
♥ Here are a few on line links for the stitches~

I can't stress how quick a result these were to have on the singlets and although not perfect I think they are very pleasing to the eye and I can't wait until our sweet little one wears them.
Blessings to you and your homes,
Gae, those are darling! I made a slew of those for our Sophie several years ago. Such a loving touch.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! As I packed away our 000s today that my six week old has already outgrown! I told the children you were buying 0000s, they truly struggled to imagine a babe in 0000s.
