How to make

Step-1

Begin by drawing the circle and the llama onto the reverse side of your fabric.

Step-2

Use the manufacturer's instructions to load the embroidery needle with soft apricot and using a stabbing motion, embroider the llama body.

Step-3

Swap to sewing the needle and use a straight stitch to embroider the face and feet next with the same coloured yarn.

Step-4

Back to the Clover needle again and working from the front this time so that the texture is different; change the setting to 5 and do the saddle next in stripes of lemon, fuchsia and turquoise.

Step-5

With the hand sewing needle, make a halter with long straight stitches in three strands of black embroidery thread.

Step-6

Also with two strands of embroidery thread but purple this time, make some fringing on the saddle.

Step-7

Cut the letters to form the words 'no drama llama!' using the purple glitter iron on foil and the alphabet die. Arrange them onto your patch within the circle with 'no drama' at the top and 'llama!'underneath.

Step-8

From the S320 interfacing, cut a disk using the template and fuse it to the back of the patch so that it is directly inside the circle.

Step-9

Cut the patch out allowing a good margin (about 2.5cm) all around. Notch the edge of the fabric not quite to the edge of the interfacing. Fold the fabric over the interfaced circle and press.

Step-10

You can now attach your patch to clothing or a bag using either an invisible hand stitch or a decorative machine stitch.
