Embroidery:
Stem Stitch
We going to use Stem Stitch for our letter embroidery, this stitch is very easy, creates a thin line and can be used to outline embroidery shapes like letters, flowers, plants, and a variety of other applications

To work Stem stitch bring your needle up through the fabric where you want to start your embroidery (picture 1), *insert the needle one stitch length away from beginning point (picture 2), come back up in half between beginning and end of first stitch (picture 3), repeat from* (pictures 4, 5 and 6), following the form of the letters, this mean that you will have to follow a little curves to form the letters, do not be afraid to do it.

Place the tag on one side of cozy cup, fold edges inside and pin it, with black embroidery thread work small diagonal stitches all around

Finishing: With small sewing stitches join the two ends corners, leave the opening as you see in the picture, introduce your cozy cup and enjoy your hot tea or favorite hot drink!
