The idea for this collection came up during on of our art retreats. We were all passing around images of ideas and a few of us had pictures of vintage seed packs. We all agreed that we should create embroidered versions, so we went about creating this collection. We created these designs using appliqué and they look beautiful when stitched.
When the collection was finished, we had a great idea to make it even better! We created a different version that turns the seed pack designs into freestanding embroidery. The designs now resemble actual seed packs, and can be placed on a stick to decorate plants or flowers. Adding these designs to a flower or plant would make the perfect gift, or embroider them on clothing, bags, or placemats for a green-thumb touch! Step-by-step instructions to create the freestanding designs are included in the tutorial, but let your creativity run wild in how you use these sweet seed packets!
