Description
The "little bumblebee" tutorial is FINALLY finished!!! Again, credit goes to for the design of the bumblebee.I really apologize for how long it took to put this together, but personally I blame school >< And homework!
+ You can download the pattern here: [link]
Megaupload Mirror: [link]
{Please let me know if these stop working!}
It looks really big, but when you print it out, it should be just right.
Notes about the tutorial:
+ The bee I photographed for the tutorial is smaller than the one that you'll be making if you use the pattern (full size). It's about half the size, but the steps are exactly the same! (I was just lazy with the sewing).
+ If you're wondering why for the ribbon-installation part, the back stripe has already been sewn on...I forgot about the ribbon and had to go back and do it XD
+ The main stitches I used were the overcast stitch ([link] ) and the blanket stitch ([link] ). If I didn't say which to use, it's most likely the overcast.
+ There are many ways you can do the mouth, it'd probably be more secure if you embroidered it, or used little stitches, but I wanted a more rounded shape, so I "cheated" a little XD
+ I kind of rushed the steps for the eyes and the mouth, so if you have any questions, please let me know!!
+ Sorry for the inconsistent colours and the different backgrounds - I was working all over the house.
Good luck and please show me if you make a little bumblebee of your very own!

O___O
I just want to extend a huge, heartfelt THANKS to `feetpeet and `bleedsopretty for the DD!! I'm totally shocked and overwhelmed - and thanks to everybody who faved and left comments for me since yesterday, it's going to take me ages to go through everything!!

The tutorial IS very weall written and presented. Well worthy of a DD for all your hard work.
As I went thru each step, I felt the emergence of a real creature and when I saw the needle stuck thru his face, it made me whince, lol.

this is a great tutorial! i followed it no sweat! now if i actually did this it would turn out great because of how well this is laid out!

Hah, I'm positive if you really made it, it'd turn out really well, it's very forgiving of any mistakes you make while you sew (I tend to make tons of mistakes or rush the sewing and it all gets covered up )
