Bear in My Stocking ornament

I’ve introduced a new embroidery pattern in my etsy store: “Bear in My Stocking”.

It features my animal friend, Bailey, the Brown Bear, hanging out with a candy cane in a Christmas stocking.

The photo shows an ornament I am making. I stitched this cute design in red, green, brown, and white using raised satin stitch and outline stitch. The fabric is a square 6×6 hem-stitched piece of 60/40 linen I purchased from one of my new favorite online stores All About Blanks (look for hem-stitched table linens…these are the 6×6 cocktail napkins).

To finish the ornament, I’ll add a second napkin as the back, sew the two pieces together, stuff with poly-fiber, and weave a ribbon through the hem-stitching holes.

For instructions on how to make the ornament, you can download a pdf at All About Blanks.
