The world comes alive again in spring. If you’re in Seattle, you know that sunshine seemingly cures everything after the Big Dark. This time of renewal is a great time to try something new. If you’ve always wanted to try embroidery, it’s easier than you think—there are plenty of artists creating downloadable PDF patterns that will get you stitching right away.
I’ve picked 12 fresh hand-embroidery patterns that capture the essence of spring—whether it’s blooms, brambles, or butterflies. So, try some spring crafts and get to stitching! (Just click on the links in the captions.) Want even more ideas? Check out more of my past pattern picks.
