I’ve been having a lot of fun embroidering an entire zoo full of animals. Here is a koala from start to finish. This took about 33 minutes to stitch and I have reduced it down to just under 3 minutes. It’s wool felt, embroidered with perle cotton onto a wool felt eyeglasses case. I drew the koala in Illustrator first and printed a pattern on freezer paper. This is easier for me than doing a pencil sketch because I can adjust the size to fit in exactly the space I need and I can reuse those pattern pieces again and again.
