Hello everyone, today I want to share with you a little thing that I did for the first time which is embroidering!

I've really liked the idea of embroidering little plants or cute things onto T-shirts. So for my friends birthday I embroidered these little plants onto a shirt.

I had never done embroidering before and I didn't have any of the materials so, I got my dad to take me to Micheals, a craft store and bought some embroidery thread, a hoop and some t-shirts.

Here is my process:

I started by sketching out what I wanted to embroider, I used a gel pen to draw it onto the shirt after putting the hoop into place.

I embroider the outline of the little plants first.

Then I fill them in...

...Filling the pots took the longest.

And I'm done!
It's not amazing or anything but it was fun! And hopefully I'll get to learn and practice more!

I hope you enjoyed it!
