Create a beautiful DIY embroidered gift for Mum with this easy tutorial! Making a personalized embroidery hoop is a thoughtful way to show some appreciation, and this beginner pattern from Makenstitch is a great project for it. The design features “mum” text surrounded by simple flowers and leaves, all pulled together with a soft color palette. It’s a manageable size that you can realistically finish in an evening, even if you’re just starting out with a needle and thread.
This lovely DIY embroidered gift project relies on three classic stitches. You’ll be using the outline stitch for the lettering, the satin stitch for filling in the petals, and French knots for the center of the flowers. Because it uses such a small variety of techniques, it’s a low-stress way to practice your tension and stitch placement. Once you’re done, the hoop serves as its own frame, making it a ready-to-hang keepsake that feels much more personal than a store-bought card.
