While the Stitched Stories shop is full of 8″ in-the-hoop projects, we’ve also got smaller Stick & Stitch patterns that are easy to stitch and that look great in a smaller (3″ to 6″) hoop.
Stick and Stitch patterns are provided on an 8.5″x11″ sheet of sticky-backed washaway fabric. You peel away backing, stick onto your fabric, embroider, then wash the pattern away under running water.
The Squirrels pattern pack includes 3 different styles of Squirrles with 4 patterns (Icelandic Sweater Suirrel is repeated).
Each motif measures 4.75″ wide and 4″ hight. They are all printed onto one 8.5″ x 11″ piece of sticky-backed wash-away fabric.
This set of three Squirrels are quick to stitch and ideal for framing in a 6″ hoop and displaying or gifting just in time for fall.
Here’s another set of Stick & Stitch patterns for the holiday season: Merry Trees, There are 3 different motifs — Christmas tree shapes built around “MERRY” wordart.
You can stitch one up in an evening or two, pop into a 6″ hoop, and you’ve got decor for your own home or thoughtful handmade gifts for loved ones and holiday hosts.
Here’s a set of four floral bouquets that are each 4″ to 5″ high. All four are included in one pattern set: May Flowers. All of them fit nicely in a 6″ hoop. You could stitch directly to one layer of fabric OR stitch on white fabric then applique to patterned fabric. (See the how-tos for applique here.)
The Bunnies and Hens pattern sets each give you four projects that you could frame OR stuff into little companions.
Even quicker to stitch are our Heartfilled and Flakes & Firs pattern sets. With over a dozen motifs in each set, you’ll have the holiday covered.
Prefer a frame in a traditional shape with a glass cover? Many of our little motifs also look great in a rectangular frame. Here’s Stars and Stripes.
