 Once More Into the Breach!

I have not updated this blog since 2017.  I'm hoping to rectify that soon and have deleted all past posts (with the exception of the children's embroidery cards,) in order to work out new formats, content, etc.  Please be patient if you follow this blog or if you follow me on other social media platforms.

Freebies for the Kiddos!



A while back, I drew up some embroidery cards for children; the kind that you take a plastic needle and a piece of yarn and they follow the holes in the cards.  I remember my mom buying me some sewing cards like that, when I was 2 or 3 years old.  We traveled regularly with a drum and bugle corp at that time, and the cards were a good activity in the car, during long rides.  With that in mind, I came up with these cards, to teach children the mechanics of the 5 more basic stitches-running, stem, split, chain, and Bayeux stitch (because I love it ;) )

FEEL FREE TO PRINT OR SHARE THESE.  I print them in card stock, then laminate them and punch the holes.  I do not mind them being shared, because they are meant as a fun teaching tool and I love instilling these skills in our youth.
