How to show it off

• Stitch it onto a fabric panel for a tote, pillow front, or pouch

• Use it as a practice piece for new stitches before a bigger project

Set your hoop down, pick a few strands of floss, and let the picture build. Adorable Elephant in a Dress: Beginner-Friendly Embroidered Artwork translates into a modern piece of embroidery hoop art.
