April showers might bring May flowers, but they also bring a perfect excuse to stay inside and craft. This sweet umbrella embroidery pattern from The Yellow Birdhouse uses a mix of felt and fabric scraps to create colorful, segmented umbrellas inside a 7-inch hoop. By using a different print for each section of the umbrella, you can create a truly unique piece of wall art. It’s a wonderful way to use up small pieces from your stash while making something cheerful for your home or as a sweet Easter gift.
The tutorial includes a free pattern download and is flexible enough to fit into a 6-inch hoop if you prefer a smaller size. You’ll learn how to layer the fabrics and add cute embroidered raindrops around the perimeter to complete the April showers theme. It’s a very beginner-friendly DIY that focuses on texture and color, resulting in a high-quality finished piece that looks lovely as part of a seasonal gallery wall.
