These are just a few of the finger puppets that I made for the Smiles for Children Project. All done in the hoop with felt. In a larger hoop, I was able to get 4 of the same puppets and then edited the designs so that I wouldn't have to change thread for each animal. At the last color change, you slip another layer of felt under the hoop and stitch. The monkey take the longest because his face in all thread but he is too cute. Some have to be slit at the bottom so that you can get your finger inside.

Machine Embroidery
These cute paper dolls were all done in the embroidery hoop for the smiles for Children Project. I did not digitize them but when you send in a required number of designs they will give you a new design that you pick out from over 4 pages of designs. You then embroider them and send them to the group who distributes them. Its a way to help others who have a greater need. Tack it Over and Over is added to the backs that make these stick.Wednesday, March 4, 2009
Machine Embroidery
I have been working on these cats which are like paper dolls for a few days. They are made of felt and are embroidered in a hoop. In order to keep the clothes on, you need to add Allene's Tack it Over and Over to the back of the clothes. I love the felt that I found which is printed in the leopard print and also polka dots. The glasses should have clear vinyl but with the new rules from the government and product safety, I left it out. I make these and others for the Smiles For Children Project.
