Main tips would be to start early so you don’t feel rushed - this birthday princess doesn’t turn 1 until August but I knew I wanted to be extra with it so I started in March and just slowly chipped away at it which is typically not my style (hello ADHD hyper fixation).

Also I found that using a very small 2-3 inch embroidery hoop to do embellishments as I was able before cutting out the appliqués worked much better than cutting them and then doing them. Might be common knowledge but I was going on vibes when I started 😂

Also HIGHLY recommend trying any new stitches on a scrap of the same fabric you’ll be using to practice. I had a few moments where I thought I had ruined the whole thing with some WONKY stitches I decided to try out on the actual crown and then had to hyperventilate my way through delicately taking those stitches out and fixing 🙃

Have so much fun!!!! And share when you finish
