VW BUS

This is a pattern for a VW Bus.  There are two version of the VW Bus that I made.  I have included the instructions for the pattern for both version in this pattern.  The colors can be interchanged very easily.  I made the ones pictured with the pattern as a request from an Etsy customer.  There are many pieces to the pattern.  I embroidered flowers and peace symbols of a variety of colors on the sides of the first VW BUS because that is what she wanted.  I did not include the colors I used for them in the pattern.  For the second bus, which I refer to as the “LOVE” VW Bus, also had flowers and peach symbols on it, but also includes the word “LOVE” embroidered on the side above the rear tires on both sides.  The “LOVE” VW Bus also has heart-shaped pupils and a curved front bumper, to give it the appearance of smiling.  The license plates on both buses have “Olivia” embroidered on them because these were requested as a present for my customer’s daughter, named Olivia.  I also made the license plates look the plates from California because the customer is from California.
