Oh, but on to the good part. My sheep! I went with brown yarn this time because I knew it would be better for taking process photos. And the green eyes really pop with the light brown felt. I tried to keep track of how long it took me to make her, just so I had an idea. It was difficult since I would work on her for a few minutes here, an hour or two there, and, sometimes, just a stitch at a time. My best guess is well over ten hours. But the result? Awesome! Head on over to Sew Mama Sew to read my post and learn how to make one of your own. Or buy this exact hand-embroidered 100% wool yarn sheep from my Etsy shop. Speaking of which, I'm offering 15% off in my shop until the end of March. Just use the coupon code "SewMama" during checkout. You can even use that discount on this beautiful new sheep!
Exciting news! I'm a guest poster over on Sew Mama Sew for their Six Weeks of Love for Softies event. About a month ago I got an unexpected email from one of the women that runs the site asking if I wanted to share a tutorial on how I made my yarn-embroidered sheep family. Apparently she had seen pictures posted on Abby Glassenberg's Facebook page (where she posts projects made with her patterns) and loved it. I agreed, got to work right away and actually finished before my deadline!

Hi. My name is Carley. I love to sew, craft, and create. As a Jane-of all-crafts so to speak, I enjoy sewing, writing, cooking, drawing, photographing. But the constant thread (if you'll excuse the pun) throughout my weeks is needle arts. Archives
