French Knot Sheep

I’ve wanted to do some of these for ages, in fact ever since I saw this cute little woolie on the feeling stitchy blog last year …

So I found 5 minutes spare, grabbed a scrap of fabric and here are my first 2 french knot woolies ...

ewe two - french knot sheep with machine appliquéd felt and hand stitched 'Baa'. Stretched over card then mounted on a ivory board.

Not brilliant, but i'm pleased with them for my first attempt. In fact so pleased that they are now mounted up and ready for sale.

Now those are cute! I think they work better on the darker fabric and look even more cute at half the size. This will hopefully be in my Esty shop very soon.
