Stitch your kids. Yes - YOUR kids.

There are 30 different kids to choose from - boys and girls with all kinds of different faces and hairstyles!

Customize them with your little one's hair color, choose their favorite color for their shirt - and you're good to go.

Boy with a buzz cut? Check. Girl with high pigtails? Check. Girl with low pigtails? Check. Boy with shaggy hair and wild cowlicks? Check. Girl with a bob? Check. Boy who never willingly removes his baseball cap? Check. Curly hair, straight hair, long hair, short hair, neat hair, messy hair - I hope you find your own kid in this bunch.

Does your kid wear glasses? No problem! I added another page to the pattern with all the same kids - but wearing glasses. :-)

This is a digital pattern delivered instantly by email. (If you're not sure what a PDF pattern is, you'll find more info here.) 

You Get. . .

• a full-sized pattern for tracing - you get 30 different kids!
• a reversed pattern for easy use with iron-on transfer tools
• additional pattern sheets showing all the kids with glasses
• links to videos teaching all the stitches I used in the samples

Size

Each kid is just over an inch tall - sized to fit in the oval pendants you can find here. But, of course, like any embroidery pattern you can enlarge or reduce them to be any size you like. Grandma would probably love a necklace with her grandkids on it - but Grandpa might like a larger framed image he can hang on the wall. :-)

Difficulty

Easy! For this pattern I provide lots of general stitching instructions. I tell you how many strands to use for the tiny size, and then give suggestions for different stitches depending on the kind of effect you want to achieve. I only suggest the most basic stitches - so this one gets 2 thimbles in my difficulty ranking system. :-)

Ready? Set? Stitch your kids!
