Start a new hobby and embroider Speckles the Spring Chicken!
Visit our website to download the pattern: pentictonartscouncil.com/events/embroidery
Supplies needed are:
- Scissors
- Needle
- Pencil/water soluble pen
- Embroidery hoop (is helpful but not necessary if a thicker fabric is used)
Materials needed are:
- Fabric; Medium weight cotton approximately 14x16cm. Many types of fabric can be used denim, felt or a piece of clothing or housewares. A lighter colour fabric is easier to transfer the pattern onto. A stiff fabric is easier to sew on especially if you don’t have an embroidery hoop.
