Because of the type of stitches I&#8217;m going to use, I needed to simplify the drawings down to plain line drawings with only a little patterning.<\/p>\n<p>Because I don&#8217;t have a scanner, I took photos of my drawings and loaded the photos onto my computer. I then traced over the photos in Illustrator, so that I had neat line drawings. I was then able to resize, flip, move and turn the butterflies into a pleasing design.<\/p>\n<p>The design has now been submitted to the magazine for approval, and when its okayed (which may be after some changes) I&#8217;ll go ahead and stitch it.<\/p>\n<p>It was very relaxing to spend the day with butterflies.
