Tree Embroidery

So you might remember that I’ve been working on a tree embroidery that matches my painting (painting is NEARLY finished…!). Well, I’m happy to announce that it’s finished! My nana thinks I could add some more swirls on the tree trunk, but I like it the way it is… :-)

To celebrate, I’ve drawn up the pattern, and am giving it away for FREE! I will also be putting together embroidery packs which will include everything (including thread, but excluding a needle and scissors) that you will need to make this yourself!

If you’re quite crafty yourself, then no need to buy the pack, just download the pattern here and get creating!

Here’s what I’m thinking I’ll put in the pack:

  • Calico cut to appropriate size
  • Pellon cut to appropriate size
  • Pattern
  • DMC Embroidery Threads:
    • 2 varieties of green
    • 2 varieties of brown
    • 3 yellow/orange/red

I think it will cost me about $12 in actually buying supplies, but I want to know, how much would you pay for a kit like that (shipping extra-depending where you are)? If you think this is too much I could just supply 1/2 the amount of thread (same colours, just less of each colour), which would still be far more then you needed. This would reduce the cost by $3/$4… Maybe I could make that an option? I could include like 1m of thread?

    So cute Talia :) I reckon a pack is a great idea.

    I think just put in 1m or so of each thread… you’d get quite a few packs out of one skein then. If you did that and still sold them at around $10-12, you’d be making a lil profit, and it’s still a reasonable price.

    Nice work… I’ll definitely check out the pattern!

    Embroidery packs are a great idea. I think about a metre sounds right.
