At my home, everybody’s favourite deal with for the vacations, but in addition any day, is a Mickey Gingerbread Cookie. And I HAD to make an embroidery sample of not simply Mickey, however a few of his friends. However as gingerbread.
The primary time my mother had a gingerbread cookie at Walt Disney World, she was hooked. I additionally had a gingerbread piece from one of many resorts the place they’ve gingerbread shows and it was simply so yummy! So I discovered a copycat recipe and we began making them at residence. Just because we do not need to wait till a visit to the parks to take pleasure in them!
Together with loving the cookies themselves, we have turn into huge followers of a sport known as Cookie Swap. It is a easy card sport that requires reminiscence and a little bit of luck, and it is crammed with favourite Disney characters all within the type of gingerbread cookies!
With all this love of Disney gingerbread, and with all of the Disney Eats patterns I’ve made this yr, I could not wait to bake up some new patterns.
You’ll be able to obtain the sample beneath, which is absolutely 4 embroidery patterns: Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy. You’ll be able to sew them on something you want! I made mine into felt ornaments, so I am going to present you the way to try this too.

I am going to share most of this as a daily tutorial, however first, let me inform you about how this began. I examined out utilizing an iron-transfer pen on felt and my take a look at went nice! So I ironed the total sample and the switch was uneven and laborious to see. So I form of went over it with pencil.I am unable to advocate this technique, however it’s what I did.
I might most likely counsel pre-soaking your felt after which letting it dry, ironing it, after which use Sulky Stick n’ Sew for the sample. Or you might use tracing paper, however that is a bit tougher.
Now for extra conventional directions!
Use three strands for every little thing. Embroider the define with chain sew. Sew the eyes with scallop sew (and straight stitches on Minnie and Daisy!). Embroider the mouths and different particulars with again sew. Embroider the strong noses, rosy cheeks, and Mickey’s giant buttons with satin sew.
Use French knots for small buttons. Sew the zig zags on the legs and arms with zig zag chain sew.
Trim across the outdoors of the embroidery, leaving about 1/4″ of felt exhibiting. This makes it look extra like a adorned cookie!
Apply a skinny layer of craft glue on the again of the embroidered minimize out.
Reduce a 6-inch piece of string or embroidery thread and tie the ends along with a knot. Glue the knot on the high heart of the decoration.
Press the glue facet down onto matching gingerbread felt and let it dry. Ensure it is drying flat!
Reduce across the cookie, holding the decoration hanger out of the best way.
Now Mickey is able to hold in your tree!
You’ll be able to, in fact sew the layers of felt collectively as a substitute of gluing them. However what I like in regards to the glue is that it additionally offers the felt some stiffness and that is good for a cookie like this.
