About the Three Designs

1. Dummy Pouch

The dummy pouch is a small, practical accessory measuring 11.5 x 13 cm, with an embroidered panel of 5 x 4 cm. It is the most compact of the three pieces and is ideal for keeping a baby's dummy clean and close at hand. The embroidery on this piece uses a focused selection of Anchor Stranded Cotton shades, worked with 2 strands throughout.

• Finished size: 11.5 x 13 cm
• Embroidery area: 5 x 4 cm
• Thread colours used: Anchor Stranded Cotton shades #259, #275, #311, #367, #368, #371, #885, #968

2. Baby Nursery Tidy

The baby nursery tidy is a larger organisational piece measuring 48 x 48 cm, featuring a wide embroidered border of 40 x 8.5 cm. A nursery tidy is a hanging fabric organiser used to store small baby essentials such as wipes, creams, and accessories, keeping the changing area neat and accessible. The broader embroidery area on this piece allows for a more expansive bunny and decorative motif design, making it a real statement piece in the nursery.

The baby changing mat is the largest item in the set, measuring 49 x 71 cm, with an embroidered section of 20.5 x 7.5 cm. A padded or fabric changing mat with hand-embroidered detailing transforms a purely functional item into a treasured keepsake. The embroidery sits neatly along the mat, adding a personal and decorative touch without interfering with the practical surface area.

Techniques and Stitches Used

This pattern uses two classic and well-established hand embroidery techniques that are ideal for creating detailed, colourful designs on fabric. The pattern tip provided is important: always work the cross stitch first, then add the backstitch. This ensures the outline and detail stitches sit cleanly on top of the filled areas.
