How to Turn a Picture into an Embroidery Pattern

December 5, 2021 by Claudia Porter Leave a Comment

Like most people, we all have those special photos which bring back cherished memories.  Sure you can put the photo in a pretty frame and display it on a shelf.  But there are other ways to preserve a special photo.  Why not try turning into an embroidery pattern?  This tutorial from Patchwork Posse shows you how.

It really is not as difficult as you may think it would be.  The tutorial goes into detail on all of the steps needed.  One of the best parts of this method is that you really don’t need any special tools to transfer the design.

What fun it would be to make a special tea towel embroidered with a place long gone for an elderly family member.  I love the author’s use of an old home for her project.  If you were confident in your skills, I think a pet or even a family member would be a nice thing to do.  The sky is the limit with a project like this.
