Fast Gift Ideas by Patricia Cochet

Patricia used embroidery fonts to create elegant personalized gifts. Nearly all of these project ideas are really fast and easy to make, and they all look awesome. We hope that you will like Patricia's gift ideas.

Patricia used a very interesting technique, which we call "patch-making".

It's beauty is that you embroider an initial separately, and once the embroidery patch is neat and ready, it's attached to the final project, to whatever place you need.

Paper Napkins Cover

Supplies:
- Cherry Punch Initials
- Initial Patch Frames

Un Air d'Autrefois
