Spring is finally in the air and the plants are starting to bloom here (hopefully where you are as well!). Besides no longer being a hermit, my favorite part of the season is my herb garden. I *try* to maintain a window box garden outside my kitchen windows each year, filled with all the herbs and spices I typically use on a regular basis. What had initially started off as a fleeting idea involving only a mint plant eventually turned into my new seasonal obsession, thus the serious need for some plant markers! Could I have bought some standard pre-made markers from a store or wrote on popsicle sticks? Sure. But where’s the fun in that when your other obsession just happens to be machine embroidery? š
Here’s a look at a few of the differentĀ free ITH Plant Markers stitched out:
MyĀ herb garden markers are super easy and quick to stitch out – even if you are still new to embroidery these should whip up beautifully. š Customize them with your own color combinations for an added unique touch!
What you will need:
- 4×4 Hoop or larger Embroidery Machine (That accepts one of these formats: .HUS, .PES, .JEF, .VIP, .XXX, .DST, .EXP)
- Tearaway Stabilizer
- Felt in preferred color (I used black for a more “chalkboard” type look and to avoid seeing any dirt)
- 1/4 inch wooden dowel rod OR bamboo skewer OR something similar for your stake
- Thread colors of your choosing (I went with pink, green, and white!)
Herb plantĀ tags included in theĀ Free ITH Plant Markers pack:
- Basil
- Lavender
- Mint
- Oregano
- Parsley
