the third & final handmade gift was based on the woodland theme for the baby's room:
I used images from a vintage coloring book, scanned them, re-drew them in illustrator, added color, printed them out on printable fabric I bought at joann's, then hand-embroidered them. for the back I used a cute flannel dot fabric & for the stuffing I opted for the bamboo fiber, both also purchased at joann's. here's a closeup of the stitching:
today is thursday & I couldn't not post a vintage embroidery transfer even though this is already such a long post:
happy stitching!
