Day 37: Freehand Mini Butterfly Embroidery

using an example for the Doodle Stitching book, i stitched a few more little butterflies to fill in empty spots on my tote. i used left over thread to make these little pretties.



now, i have to finish the inside... so, i ironed on some fusible interfacing to keep my stitches from getting caught on stuff i throw in my bag.



and then i ironed the front so it doesn't have circles on it from the embroidery hoop.



and TADA! i've finished my tote! yay! 
all the patterns came from Doodle Stitching: Fresh & Fun Embroidery for Beginners and Doodle Stitching: The Motif Collection: 400+ Easy Embroidery Designs by Aimee Ray
