That is why I propose that you now carry out your own final project, in addition to being a beautiful experience, you will surely create something that will surprise you. Do not be afraid to do something completely new from scratch. Take this opportunity to learn. Also, I will be with you during the process, so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the forum. I will answer you as soon as I may be possible. I can't wait to see what you will create. I am going to share with you a little of how I would like to see your final project look like and the process behind it. The beginning of a great adventure Take some time to browse your inspiration boards. Choose an idea and make a sketch. It does not have to be something very elaborate. Remember that with very simple figures you can believe incredible things. Since you have it ready on paper, then digitize your sketch and print it out.

The colors Choose the colors with which you want to work on the project. It is a great opportunity to add your personal touch, although you can choose to stay true to the colors that your design would have in reality, it is also an opportunity to play with colors. If you have already decided, then it is time to look for wool with those colors. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable working with the colors that you will make. Warming up the engines Prepare everything to start working on your project. You are about to get to work, so prepare the edges of the fabric and transfer your design to it. With this ready, you can mount your fabric on the hoop and outline the front design on the reverse ... the best is coming. Are you ready? Get to work Here begins the real adventure, take your yarns and needles, thread the punch needle and start to embroider your flat stitch in the shape of a brick, turn the fabric and embroider the loop stitch on the wrong side of the fabric. The crochet With all the basics advanced, it is time to start with the crochet pieces. So weave the pieces. It can be the ears, the muzzle, and so on. If your design requires it, you can proceed to fill them. If not, you can add these pieces to the embroidery base. The last details Your piece is already coming to life, so it is time to add the final details such as putting the eyes, you can use safety eyes and embroider them. Embroider the mouth, nose, or whatever you have decided to embroider for your project. Transfer the fabric to a square frame, cut off the excess, and finish the back. Please, do not forget to publish your final project, do not deprive us of the beautiful things you can do. I invite you to see, share, and comment on your colleagues' projects, but remember to always give feedback respectfully. It was a pleasure to teach you through this course. See you in the forum to answer your questions. I say goodbye for now but see you soon. Goodbye!”

“Final project First of all, I want to thank your company and your attention in this course. I hope it is very useful for you to think in new ways to apply both techniques. Personally, I am very happy to have had the opportunity to show you my work. Remember that you can embroider and weave the way you want, but I recommend you start with simple geometric figures until you have mastered template creation.
