Sharing a delicious homemade meal with family and friends is one of life’s richest pleasures, filling our souls as well as our stomachs. This embroidery design, which can be done as a patch on stitched directly onto a project, gives the chef a shout-out and wishes the entire table, “Bon Appetit!”
The included thread chart details our delicious color combination of sunflower gold, geranium red, inky black, and bright white. But, since sewing is as individualistic as cooking, you can mix up your favorite colors to create a embroidery recipe all your own.
Available in our S4H Etsy Shop, the Cooking with Love custom design is a single embroidery file provided in your choice of EIGHT file formats: ART, EXP JEF, JEF+, JPX, PES, VIP, and VP3.
As mentioned, you can stitch it out as a stand-alone patch as shown here or embroider it directly onto the base fabric or project of your choice.
If you have a kitchen enthusiast on your gift list, this design would be a fabulous embellishment idea! We feature the patch on two of our favorite S4H Free Apron designs; the Drawstring Apron with Wraparound Ties, and the Overall Style Apron. Take a look through our entire Aprons Project Category for dozens of other ideas, each one featuring FREE step-by-step instructions.
The design finishes at approximately 4¼” wide x 4¼” high, which means it should fit most standard mid-range machine embroidery hoops. We used the Janome RE18 Hoop, which is 5.5” x 7”.
Along with the design in your chosen machine embroidery format, you’ll be able to download a Thread Chart showing sizing, stitch count, and color change order; as well as a full color PDF showing our recommended steps for hooping, stabilizing, and stitching a stand-alone patch. Of course, as mentioned above, you can certainly embroider directly onto your chosen fabric.
Our colorful digitized design, including the Mini Tutorial on Stabilizing + Stitching a Stand-Alone Patch, is just $4.95. If you’ve shopped with us before, you know we have continued to keep the cost of all our Etsy Shop items very affordable, while maintaining the professional, thorough instructions, and the gorgeous sample photography S4H is known for throughout the sewing and craft industry. Quality for the win every time!
This is just one of our designs in our Hobby Patch Series; check out all the options at our Etsy Shop.
