Step 5Make the "frame"!
This is where you can really get creative. I chose to do groupings of curved lines because I like the way they look.
You can use patterns or freehand the designs on using an air soluble pen. I chose air soluble for this project because we won't be able to wet this embroidery to rid ourselves of water soluble markings. :)
Basic patterns can be found at nearly every sewing store - but you can also find them for free online! You don't even need transfer paper to use them. Just print them out and pin them to your fabric and hold it up to a window and trace. Voila!
Here are some online resources:

You could even add text to it! I was thinking of adding "la famille", "le grand-pere", etc. and might do it with later ones. :)
