“Embroidery butterfly” is the name of the pattern I used for this project. It is a cross between cross stitch and embroidery, and it is a new technique I am learning.
Embroidery butterfly is a cross stitch, but it is based on a different technique called embroidery floss. It really just means the end product is a more complicated pattern. Of course, you can do cross stitch without floss, but then your piece will be really plain looking.
The idea is to make a piece of fabric that looks like the cross stitch it’s based on. You can also try to use floss, but that’s much more time consuming and requires a little patience. The cross stitch itself takes about 60 minutes to cut the fabric and it takes about 30 minutes to sew it together, but the floss takes about 20 minutes to make, so you can get away with less floss and still stitch more than a couple of pieces together.
The floss does the most part of the job of embroidering a piece, but the floss comes in so many colors that its hard to know what to use. I’ve got some suggestions below, but the general rule of thumb is to choose the colors that match the background of your piece. If you don’t want to sew the back of the piece, you could always lay it flat and use a scrap of fabric as a backdrop.
I made a pair of this set just for the challenge, since I cant resist a good butterfly. I bought the butterfly on Etsy for $4.99. I also bought some cheap floss, since I only had 1.85 for the entire piece.
I made my own set of embroidery butterflies for 2.99, and it is so much easier and quicker than sewing them. The butterflies are made from fabric scraps, and are printed with an image of a butterfly that I took from an old photo of me with my daughter. They are so easy to make, and are perfect for the challenge.
This is also a great project for your little one, as they will love to make them.
I know I was a bit hesitant at first, but they’re so much fun! I really like making them myself, and I think they would be great for a craft project. They’re just as fun as the butterfly-featured yarn that I used to make them. And the best part is that I got the opportunity to do them in 4-inch square pieces. I think that was the best part.
embroidery butterflies are fun to make, and definitely a craft project your little one will love. However, I think that you will be able to make a lot of them by yourself, because the only other person you will need to provide the yarn is your daughter. And that means that you will have to do a lot less if you’re going to do a lot more. The more you make, the more you’ll have to buy.
I think I’ve heard that one before. But I can honestly say that embroidery is a really easy craft. All you need to go is a big needle, a big needle and thread and a craft mat, and that’s it. Even if you’re a beginner, I think you’ll be able to learn how to do it in 30 minutes or less.
