playing doctor :) with stitches : P

One day i saw my daughter using these bizarre flame ribbons with  velcro, i think were part  of a mcdonalds happy meal toy, as bandages for her beloved puppy dolls : ) So as im still experiencing and learning  the  embroidery sewing machine my Sweet and Wonderful mother in law just gave me recently I thought id make some red cross bandages to add to her doctor/vet kit.

what you'll need: white felt like fabric, red thread, velcro
*if you have an embroidery machine here is the pattern  i made for 5 bandages in two sizes you'll use in a larger hoop.


I did not use a stabilizer so as you can see it skewed a little, but with the nature of the project i'm happy with it :)
So after you cut them apart (the longer is about 6.5 inches long- and be sure to have the cross in the middle!) you sew on some velcro at the ends and your little doctor in training is  ready to patch up some stuffy owies!
Or as we say in our house, "booboos happen" : D
