| You'll see another little bit of chicken scratch on her top. It's the same little French smock pattern that I bought from ChocolatineStudio on Etsy. Of course you can use any fabric for the smock, but gingham is the one for chicken scratch. I found that the gingham squares don't always run straight, so before I cut out the pattern, I match up the squares so that when I embroider, it doesn't go downhill! |
My favourite is the top left where I used white thread and the white square was left open.The one next to it, top middle is my second choice: white thread and the darkest pink square was left open. The two pale pink tries don't have much impact because the colour of the thread matches the colour of the pink gingham. The darker pink thread - the two samples on the right - give a nice impact too. It worked up very quickly, and I found that it was much easier and neater when I used a small hoop.
