I sewed and embroidered this little banner for my nephew that was born last week. Colin's sister had a baby boy, and I just had to make him something for the hospital!
The upholstery fabric in the woodgrain pattern was picked up from Hancock Fabrics right before they closed.
I had a small metal rod, and Colin trimmed it to the right length for me. I used twine for the hanger.
If you're interested in getting started in machine embroidery, the machine I use is a good place to start. The exact model number was sold at Hancocks, but the two models below look to be exact to what I have. I see one has a foot pedal, which mine doesn't have, but I'm not sure why it's needed. My machine will embroider a 4x4 space. Before you invest in a machine, be sure to do your research and watch videos. You need a computer and embroidery software if you want to use your machine to its fullest potential. It's one of the most fun hobbies for me!
