Darn It All is a cheery design that works up quickly. It is designed to fit an 8" square canvas, although the design (and sentiment) is versatile enough to be worked onto finished articles like tote bags as well. 

This hand embroidery pattern is composed of TWO files:

Darn It All Pattern PDF, a 15-page digital pattern with a materials list, pattern tracing, stitch direction guide, and 10+ photos and illustrations to show step-by-step instructions for completing this pattern. 

Darn It All Stitch Reference PDF contains another 18 pages and 20+ photos detailing every step of the stitches used as well as the theory behind them and common variations. 

This pattern contains all the information necessary to complete it as it stands, but for those who really like to dive in, we have the option to add a companion PDF that goes into all the little things most patterns gloss over - fabric selection, methods of starting and stopping threads, pattern transfer, needle sizes, and more. With an additional 42 pages and 40+ more pictures, you'll learn valuable skills for any embroidery project.

Care information

Linen handkerchiefs may be washed via delicate cycle in a washing machine (no bleach) or for best results, by hand. Iron hot, with steam, on the backside of the work. Any stitches pushed out of place from the iron can gently be prodded back into place. A cotton or mesh laundry bag will help protect your piece from getting snagged.

Temari should not be washed, just dusted if necessary. If needed, you can wet a cloth in hot water and wring it out quite well, and use that to spot-wash. Temari are made of fibers all the way through, so a wash or soak would mean that the inside would never dry.

Our embroidered blankets are made with wool, and should be handwashed gently in cool water.

Goldwork embroidery should only be washed by a professional. Other embroidery is best cleaned as for temari (especially framed hoop work) though wearable accessories may be put through the wash on a gentle cycle or hand washed.
