Since I fell in love with this old, traditional Redwork technique of embroidery
I made some little pieces...
some are made with a double red thread
the batting consists of a thicker cotton fleece,
those I will use as tags for presents and such,
others are made with a single red thread
and are quite thin, filled with a piece of cotton fabric,
those I will use for greeting cards,
they are fixed with small pieces of a double faced adhesive tape.
And I don't worry so much here about being perfectly even or symmetrical,
I like these things to be natural and playful,
so I only mark a few lines on my fabric
and then proceed freehand.
Here is some wonderful information on Redwork:
