Be Creative - Embroider

I am flitting from one craft to another at the moment. During the week I decided that with a quiet weekend ahead I would try my hand at some embroidery. I had a project in mind so I paid a quick visit to Hobbycraft after work last night and purchased some embroidery floss and a hoop. When I got home I dug out some left over material from another project, and using my sewing machine made a small curtain pull to cover the mess in my crafts bookcase.

I printed off a phrase in cursive lettering on the computer, pinned it to my fabric and off I went. I have never embroidered before so I was sewing through the paper, which actually worked surprisingly well.

I am very pleased with the result, and rather proud of my efforts in the initiative department. My craft bits and bobs are hidden away and I have another favourite craft to add to my growing list of hobbies.
