Youll love this sweet vintage camper applique pattern in an embroidery hoop!
This makes very cute home decor, or a great gift idea.
My mom just bought a new trailer for our annual family camping trips.
Sheisthe one who taught me how to craft and sew after all.
Dont worry, her trailer is definitely newer and bigger than this one looks.
I think it might even be nicer than my house!
The vintage trailer with the cross-stitched letters is just too perfect though!
I hope she likes it.
If youve never cross-stitched on linen, I suggest googling some tutorials.
Luckily the first and last words are the same, so that makes it easy to line up.
For the applique pieces, first trace the pattern on the paper side of your interfacing.
Cut out the pattern and peel off the paper backing.
Repeat this process with all of the pattern pieces.
Iron all of the pieces onto your linen one by one.
Use gray thread to machine stitch around the outside of all of the pieces.
you might do either.
I used thread that matched the heart and inside of the wheel since they are so small.
Its hard to get a smooth line, so it looks better if you cant see it.
Use a full strand of embroidery floss and stitch the step and hitch details.
To finish off the hoop, cut off some of the excess linen fabric.
make a run at keep the glue on the hoop so it doesnt seep through to the front.
Trace a circle of felt the same size as your hoop.
Cut it out and glue it to the inside of the hoop.
This just makes everything nice and neat in the back.
This would make such a great gift for someone who loves to travel!
