Free solar eclipse pattern!

Who else is excited about the solar eclipse happening on Monday?? I've never seen a total eclipse before and I can't wait to see it. So in anticipation, I've created this free eclipse embroidery pattern to share with you! (you can download the pattern at the end of this post. :)

This is a simple and fun project that you can stitch up in a few hours and use in a variety of ways to create your own little piece of history.I used a scrap of navy batik that reminded me of a night sky, with pale grey and aqua floss. Looking closely, you can see I used pretty basic stitches, split stitch and straight stitches for the lines, and long and short stitch for the solid areas. If you need a tutorial on that one (along with another moon pattern), check here! I'm not sure what I'll do with mine yet, but it is a lovely little momento of a super cool and special event.


I hope you'll stitch up your own version of my eclipse pattern, and will be able to see it on Monday, August 21! Be sure and tag me @aimee_littledear on Instagram if you post pictures!Have fun. xo aimee
