Now, I know that stitching up facial features, especially when they are small is intimidating at best. I'm gonna show you how I tackle these tiny features in a few smooth moves. We don't want her to just look all weird, you know? I consider embroidering faces my <i>spess-ial-ity</i>, and I want your embroidery to look lovely, so here's how I do it to it!

</p>
<p>
<b>Now, Strip Down...</b>(that's a pinup joke. Heh.)
</p>
<p>
All stitches are worked in either 3 or 4 plys ("strands"). The number of ply means I've stripped the six-strand floss down to only 3 or 4 strands for finer detail.
</p>
<p>

</i>
</p>
<p>
<b>OTHER FEATURES:</b>
</p>
<p>
Okay. Here's where the techniques really come in. Pay close attention and I will teach you my stitchy ways...
</p>
<p>
<b>Bow - </b>I like shortcuts. So, instead of trying to actually stitch the outline of the tiny bow, I've combined three types of stitches that look even more like a tiny bow themselves to make what I call a <b>"Lazy Bow"</b>: 2 isolated chain stitches for the loops, 2 straight stitches for the ends, and 1 French knot in the middle. Laziness is the mother of invention with me.<b>
</b>
</p>
<p>
<b>Eyes</b> - The eyes are the window to the soul of your project. For the <b>eyelashes</b>, I used only a total of 3 straight stitches in 3 ply. There are only 2 stitches on the left eye for the lashes, and 1 on the right. Notice that I stitched them <i>before</i> I did the French knots for the eyes. You want your French knots to sit on top of these stitches. The French knots <b>eyes</b> are worked in 3 ply, and if you'll notice that the center dimple of the knot looks a bit like a pupil. Keeping the coil of your knot tightly wound around your needle as you make your French knot is the key to its success, so here's my <a href="/frenchknot.html" target="_blank">French Knot how-to</a> if you need a refresher. The <b>eyebrows</b>, again, are only 3 straight stitches in 3 ply. The left eyebrow is 2 stitches that meet end-to-end at the arch.
</p>
<p>
<b>Hair </b>- Hair is always my favorite part to stitch. I just wanted to point out that in this example I go back and forth between using a stem stitch and a back stitch for the hair. I think it looks best primarily worked in a stem stitch, but I switched to a back stitch in spots where space was tight, so the detail wouldn't be lost in those strawberry curls.<b></b>
</p>
<p>
<b>Mouth </b>- Even more than the eyes, I think mouths are extra tricky. <b>Upper Lip</b> is worked in only 3 straight stitches in 3 ply: 2 on the left worked like a stem stitch, and 1 on the right worked as a back stitch meeting at the indent. <b>Lower Lip</b> is 1 straight stitch pulled down with a securing stitch to make it swoop down a little and give it some shape. Make sense? Another shortcut!
</p>
<p>
<b>Nose</b> - Okay, maybe I spoke too soon. I think the nose is the most challenging part. Less is more. You just need to hint that a nose is there. The tip of the nose is nothing more than 2 straight stitches in 3 ply, with the stitch for the outer tip slightly overlapping the nostril. This will take practice.
</p>
<p>
Most importantly: don't agonize over it too much. If you stare and stare at it, your work will look off to you no matter how well you're doing. So if you think it's not working, or you get frustrated, walk away from it and come back with fresh eyes. You'll probably say "Oh! That doesn't look as bad as I thought!" I think so, too. xo Jenny

Thanks for the quick lesson!
I'm glad you put up a tutorial on how to use simple stitches to make something look so detailed. As a beginner, I only know a few stitches. This was really helpful! (Especially since the common sense never clicked in to turn 6-ply into 3- or 4-ply.)
Quick question, though. If I'm using an iron-on pattern, are these tips helpful/effective with fully covering the ironed-on-ink-lines? I noticed the lines in the Mitch O'Connell series (what I'm working on) are a little thick.
pin up face
Thanks for sharing!! She's so pretty ;0)
pinup face tutorial
I do love the tutorial. This is a great idea for beginners like myself. It gives me the confidence I need to try patterns that might be a little harder.
I first did embroidering when I was 14 or so. My sister and I would go to Goodwill and get old work shirts and put all kind of designs on them. I am 49 years old and back at it. Your work is so unique.
I would think you hear this all the time... I LOVE WHAT YOU DO! You are a very talented young lady and I am head over heals excited that you are sharing your talent with us.
Peace, Love, Courage,
Ann Shorts

Ms. J
Thank you for sharing your tutorial for embroidering the pin up face.
It is so much better than the way I was doing the mermaid's face and so much cleaner looking.
You are my embroidery hero...uhhhh heroine. ;-)
Thank you for sharing your talent.
