A little look at the tools I use to make each and every one of your precious portraits ā¤ļø .... an assortment of dmc_embroidery floss, graph paper for sketching my designs, pencil and eraser, hoop for stitching (the plastic ones work better for me then wooden ones when actually stitching), scissors (from the dollar store - if anyone needs birthday gift ideas for me, Iād love a pretty pair of embroidery scissors *hint hint* šš), needles, tweezers, needle minder and seam ripper, and my ottlite_official (which was a Christmas present to myself šš»). Not pictured - Aida cloth, fabric for backing my hoops, and wooden hoops for framing!
