My Sewing Space Is My Happy Place Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Spent a long time on this one because I wanted the individual sewing tools to actually look like sewing tools, not just icon silhouettes. The heart outline is formed by a ring of sewing notions, two pairs of scissors, thread spools in purple and orange and ochre, a red measuring tape, buttons, a pincushion, thimble and safety pin. My sister stitched the 6 inch version onto her craft room apron last spring and shes worn it to every sewing class she teaches since.

Twelve colours and 5 sizes from 4 inches wide up to 8. At the largest size the stitch count hits just under 35,000 which is substantial, its genuinely one of the more detailed files in the shop. Run a layer of cutaway stabiliser under the fabric before hooping and keep your thread tensions balanced, some of the smaller notions like the thimble and the pin heads use tight satin columns that'll pucker if the upper tension is too high.

Hoop with a medium weight cutaway and use a topping on any textured fabric so the stitch detail in the scissors blades and button holes reads clearly. Skip very dark fabrics unless you plan to swap some thread colours because the paler spool shades dont show up well against a dark navy or black background.

Works beautifully on natural linen, cream cotton canvas, and oatmeal coloured fabrics where those 12 colours all stand out. Try it on a canvas tote for a sewing room gift, or centred on a craft apron front. Stitch it on a zip pouch for your sewing kit and it basically becomes the whole point. Any file load issues, message me and ill sort it out.
