Pressed Pennies Stick and Stitch Patterns!
As I've been traveling more and more for trade shows and to teach workshops, I've been getting to see more of the country. Often times on trips, I try to bring back a souvenir to remember the adventure. It doesn't always happen, but I have a sand dollar from Pacific Beach, an alligator keychain from New Orleans, and more on the curio shelves in our guest bathroom.
Growing up, the souvenir to get was pressed pennies. I remember my younger sister having a special book for all her pennies and always scouting out the pressed penny machine as soon as we stopped at a landmark or tourist destination. This thought inspired me to design my own pressed pennies featuring nature designs.
Pressed Pennies
This nature inspired pattern pack features a mountain range, a fir tree, a pansy, a bunch of blueberries, and a little snail. Apparently I have a thing for snails lately.
This small stick and stitch pattern pack features 5 pressed penny designs that are all 2.5x1.25 inches in size. They're perfect for adding decorative stitching to your clothing, creating a patch, or embellishing on your favorite travel gear.
What Are Stick and Stitch Patterns?
My Peel, Stick, and Stitch embroidery designs are the perfect way to add a little inspiration to your stitching. From florals to cacti and tropical plants to winter botanicals, and more these simple patterns are an easy way to customize your embroidery.
And when I say easy, I mean it! The directions are in the name. With your fabric in an embroidery hoop
PEEL off the design backing
STICK the sticky side onto your fabric
STITCH over the design. When you've finished stitching, wash the designs away with warm water.
Peel, Stick, and Stitch designs can be used on almost anything. Whether you want to add embroidery to a t-shirt, a tote bag, or leave the designs displayed in a hoop as a wall hanging, they make getting started easy.
