Ice Lollies: Summer Sampler Embroidery Patterns

Stitch a colourful ice lolly or two with a pair of embroidery patterns, now available on my Patreon!



There are two lolly designs to choose from - this classic lolly shape, and a rocket lolly.

Printed at 100% each lolly pattern fits nicely inside a 6 inch embroidery hoop. They're easy to sew and would be a great project to make with your kids or when you want to learn some new decorative stitches.

Use backstitch or your own favourite line stitch to embroider your chosen pattern...


 ... then get creative and fill in the different sections with fun stitches! 

I used a full thickness (all six strands) of embroidery thread (floss) for the lolly outline, then two strands of thread for the details. 

 From top to bottom, I used: single scattered stitches, French knots, sheaf stitch, and chain stitch.

This pair of ice lolly embroidery patterns are now available in my Patreon pattern library.

Today I'm sharing a fun, summer-y tutorial: make a felt phone case decorated with an ice cream or ice lolly!

Already have a case for your smartphone, or don't own a smartphone? You could use the ice cream designs to decorate other sewing projects or greetings cards, or to make fun felt brooches.

I originally designed this project for docrafts Creativity magazine, and it was stitched using felt, fabric and buttons from their range of craft supplies.

Each phone case has an ice cream on the front, and a button closure at the back.

You can make the cases entirely from felt, or add a pretty fabric lining.
