Feminist Beginner Hand Embroidery Pattern: If I'm Too Much, Go Find Less, Sassy Pride Quote (PDF)

“If I'm too much, go find less." I honestly have no idea when or where this line originated, but I know the meme and Starr Adara's song of the same title. I feel like attribution credit should go to someone, though I don't know who. In any case, I love this quote. This empowering quote is perfect for similarly snarky / sassy / smart / edgy / feminist / confident / witchy / fed up / proud / brilliant people in your life! "If I'm too much, go find less" makes a great gift for new grads, best friends, LGBTQIA Pride, people embarking on a new path, and perhaps even the recently divorced? And yourself, of course.

I chose black thread for the quote and surrounded it with a starburst of shining, sparkling, metallic gold rays. I used fuchsia fabric because we contain multitudes and it makes me happy, but this embroidery design would work on many other colors of fabric. I think it would be stunning on the back of a denim jacket or the side of a tote bag. I can't wait to see what you create!

This PDF pattern is beginner friendly, meditative, and satisfying to sew. I provide suggested DMC thread colors plus stitch suggestions, but I encourage you to be creative and choose your own!
