Covered a stain on my niece’s hoodie.

There was a small stain on my niece’s hoodie. I was just going to do one flower but I enjoyed it so much, I kept going!

You can see the stain in the first pic: small red mark on the right. My helper wasn’t much help but I love having my 22 year old cat on my lap! I added a tiny ant too, since I’m her aunt and all. And I redid the bee because the first one looked wonky.

The back is atrocious. I’ll add some fusible interfacing this afternoon.

She better like it or else!

I really like the design. Especially on that color background!

Do you have to hand wash a hoodie now that it’s hand embroidered? Or will it go through a washing machine okay?

[u/MisterRogersCardigan → u/WhiteRabbitLives]

I wash my hand-embroidered shirt, but I let it air dry (I mean, I hang pretty much everything on drying racks anyway, but I would definitely air dry anything with embroidery, even if I used a clothes dryer).

[u/jelycazi → u/MisterRogersCardigan]

Both my sis and I air- dry everything. So it least won’t get wrecked in the dryer!!

Thanks! I hope it won’t need hand washing or my sister will not be pleased with me!! lol. Or I guess I’ll be doing her laundry!

My niece’s favourite colour is rainbow, but if you press her, she’ll say purple.

Fantastic, auntie. The bee is pure genius.

Thank you! I’ll be returning the hoodie to her tomorrow. I hope she likes it!

I absolutely love this! what stitch did you use for the flower centres?

[u/jelycazi → u/Extraterrestrialchip]

French knots. Sometimes, I wrapped the floss around my needle twice, sometimes once.

Thank you.
