It‘s all in the details with embroidery, and Lucy‘s project is the best way to get a bit more of your personality into what you want to wear each day.

Once you‘ve got the techniques down, get creative with adding more flowers or playing with the placement. The fun thing about this is that you can add it to whatever you‘d like. Stick to fabrics like cotton for easier embroidering, and opt for less flowers if you‘re new to it and want a quicker craft.

The gingham can help you place the template symmetrically on the other side of the collar. Just count the squares between the template and edge of the collar in various places and match it. Make sure the fabric is always taut and smooth in the hoop for the best finish, too.
