Sketch to Stitch, Whimsical Faces

If any of you like drawing faces but need some easy hints, this video is for you. I show how I put faces onto bookmarks, mine are stitched after drawing but you can easily use a fabric pen instead of stitching. The color is added with Portfolio water soluble oil pastels. Here is the link for the pastels:

    Ahhh, the Queen of free-motion stitching is at it again! Such tiny stitches this time - I don’t know how you do it! 😮 But you do, and they’re absolutely adorable! Thanks so much for sharing these, Julia. 😊

    So cute Julia...Anyone wanting to make free motion a bit easier, old Singer 700 series have a slant needle and a higher gap between the machine and the plate. Another way to make a bit easier to see is to prop, very slightly, the front of your machine. You can even use the machine from the side since it is free motion....The old Singers are cheap and easy to find because they were made for schools by the thousands....
