Tips for Neat Stripes
The bee's stripes are simple color changes every two or three rounds, but the secret to clean stripes is the invisible join: slip stitch to join, chain one, and start the new color in the same stitch. The wings are small white ovals sewn on top at a slight angle. A tiny embroidered smile makes this bee impossible not to love.
