If you haven’t started your 2022 journal embroidery hoop for this year, it’s never too late to get in on the hottest trend in embroidery journaling. To start you off, here’s a free embroidery pattern to start your 2022 hoop – Click Here.

Or if you’d like to start your own style of embroidery journaling, I have an idea for you here. It isn’t a pattern like the one above, but rather just an idea of something I’m doing this year.

Every so often in addition to the 52 free embroidery patterns I’ll be releasing this year (that’s 1 every week!), I’d like to offer some mini patterns for you to use or use as idea for you. .

Today’s pattern is just a small shamrock to fit into your plan of 365 days of mini embroidery. Scroll below to get your pattern if you already have the materials, you’ll need listed.

• With embroidery pens, trace all lines onto the fabric

If you need help resizing the PDF patterns, here’s a tutorial.
