Sewing Room Christmas Hoop Ornaments

If you’ve visited Flamingo Toes before you know how much I love quilting and embroidery! So these Sewing Room Christmas Hoop Ornaments seemed like a perfect combo of the two things!

These were so fun to stitch up! The sewing machine ornament is a mini version of my larger Sewing Machine embroidery pattern. And both designs are on my Sewing Room Canisters coming out next spring!

These are tiny little hoops – only 3″! But don’t let that stop you from stitching them up – that just means they don’t take very long to embroider!

I think these would be fun gifts as well for a quilty friend!

• Sewing Room Embroidery Hoop Ornaments

Instructions:

1. Trace the pattern onto the fabric, I recommend a fine tip pen and place the fabric in the embroidery hoop.
2. Embroider the designs as follows:
   1. Red Embroidery Floss:
      1. Use three strands of floss and a back stitch – outlines of base of pincushion and sewing machine
      2. Use three strands of floss and a satin stitch – top and bottom of each thread spool, heart on “quilt”
      3. Use two strands of floss and French Knots – small dots on both hoops
   2. Aqua Embroidery Floss:
      1. Use three strands of floss and a satin stitch – dial, center of handle on sewing machine, outline of “quilt”, and spools of thread on both the sewing machine and pincushion hoops
      2. Use 1 strand of floss and a back stitch – thread line on top of sewing machine
      3. Use 2 strands of floss and French Knots – tops of two pins on the pincushion
   3. Yellow Embroidery Floss:
      1. Use 3 strands of floss and a satin stitch – inside of one of the thread spools on the pincushion hoop
      2. Use 2 strands of floss and a lazy daisy stitch – flowers on both the pincushion and sewing machine
      3. Use 2 strands of floss and a French Knot – tops of two pins on the pincushion
   4. Pink Embroidery Floss:
      1. Use 3 strands of floss and a satin stitch – inside of one of the thread spools on the pincushion hoop
      2. Use 2 strands of floss and a lazy daisy stitch – flowers on both the pincushion and sewing machine
      3. Use 2 strands of floss and a French Knot – tops of two pins on the pincushion
      4. Use 2 strands of floss and a back stitch – thread along the top of the pincushion hoop
   5. Gray Embroidery Floss
      1. Use 1 strand of floss and a straight stitch – points of pins and needle on sewing machine
      2. Use 2 strands of floss and a back stitch – needle on pincushion hoop
3. Trim the excess fabric around the hoop, about 1/2″ past the edge of the hoop. Glue the fabric inside the back of the hoop. I find hot glue works great for this!
4. Glue the pom pom trim around the edge of the hoop, so the pom poms extend out past the edge of the hoop.
5. Add a piece of ribbon through the hole below the screw and tie the ends in a knot for hanging.
