Niamh of Urban Threads says,
Hand embroidery is wonderful, simple, meditative, and sometimes, a little bit time consuming. This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you like your hobbies, but sometimes when you have a big open blank space, and you’re just not feeling up to large swatches of satin fill, what do you do? Grab your crayons, of course!
The abundantly illustrated UT tutorial takes us step by step through the crayon-tinting and embroidery process. This looks really fun! See the tute.
