BUILD-A-BUG (First released July 2022)
This Build-a-Bug embroidery project offers you templates and instructions for making up to 64 unique embridered bugs! Cleverly designed templates enable you to mix and match the designs to create your bespoke bugs. 
 
These bugs are a perfect project to take away with you on holiday, they’re small and portable and ideal for using up scraps of felt and embroidery threads. 
 
I think one of the most enjoyable parts of this project is deciding what your bug is going to look like. I have designed 4 heads, 4 bodies and 4 sets of wings that all work together in a mix and match way.  If you muddle up the wings or have two sets per bug then the number runs into the 100’s. So I believe each of you will create something completely unique!
 
These bugs make ideal gifts, toys (minus the sequins and seed beads), brooches, pin cushions, mobiles ... so many things.
 
This download includes all the instructions you need to create your bugs.
