Soft doodles!

Turn a drawing into a quick sewing project for children!

Step 1 You'll need...

• some scrap fabric, preferably a light color
• an embroidery hoop
• a water soluble marking pen
• embroidery floss in bright colors
• and large embroidery needles
• an iron

If you're not familiar with embroidery, or you have older children that might like to learn more, check out my instructable on embroidery basics!

For younger children, you might need to thread the needle for them. Sometimes it's hard for little fingers to do those sorts of things!

awesome! I've never really done any embroidery before but I think I might give it a go now! Oh and the Nicolas Cage is awesome, I liked his character on G-force lol. As soon as i heard the mole talk I was like "that's nicolas cage!!"

My mother taught me to embroider like this when I was a child, (some 40-odd years ago!) We used the embroidered pieces for pincushions, Barbie blankets and Barbie clothes. This was a great introduction to learn to sew, a skill which I use to this day. Thanks for the memories.
