Take your scrap fabric projects to the next level by adding a touch of hand stitching! You can enhance any DIY project with simple hand embroidery – make it look more detailed and boost its value if you’re sewing to sell. Whether you’re making a tote bag, zipper pouch, apron, or even a hair accessory, hand embroidery is a simple way to turn something functional into something truly special. Start by placing fabric scraps directly onto fusible fleece – no need to worry about hiding raw edges. Then use thick embroidery floss and a basic hand stitch like a zigzag to cover the seams. You can also add cute flowers, little hearts, or simple shapes to elevate your design. It’s a fun and relaxing way to add texture and handmade flair to any sewing project!
