Turn Over a New Leaf Embroidery Kit
Designed by Mary Self
This design is based on a Stig Lindberg leaf design.
The outline of the leaves are stitched for you to embroider and embellish as you wish. Our sample uses the enclosed scan of the leaf outlines for you to use as patterns for applique, either with felt as in the sample or material.
You could also just stitch them with simple stitching or paint them (we used So Soft fabric paint) and stitch outlines or just unpick the stitching … we would love to see what you will come up with.
