As far as cuteness goes, this gingerbread boy and girl embroidery design is about as cute as it gets. Gingerbread people are always a favorite Christmas design, and they can be seen everywhere when the holiday season begins. Did you know that gingerbread men where first created in the 15th century?
This festive pattern from Little Dear Tracks would be a lovely addition to your gingerbread men décor or make an adorable gift for a friend. I think that the clothing that is part of the design really sets this pair apart. Just look at the adorable scalloped hem on her dress and his decorative cuffs. It is those little details that make it so special.
You need to be familiar with a few embroidery stitches including the: split stitch, french knots, back stitches, scallop stitches and satin stitches. The designer provides a downloadable pdf file so you can trace the pattern onto your fabric, and she tells you what floss she used in case you want to make your pair in the same colors.
This deign is a must-make treat for gingerbread people fan, and an added perk is that they are completely calorie-free. That’s my kind of treat!
