I find that light-colored jeans (light blue wash, or something) are so cute for embroidering flowers and bees and silly little things onto. I’ve tried embroidering flowers onto a black jacket I have, but it didn’t look as good. I guess the black was too saturated, or something.
Yeah, that must be it. I don’t have any neon embroidery thread, do you? Just old basic kits from childhood, plus some nice colors I might see in the store and buy individually.
None that are actually neon, but I have some that are pretty close. I know DMC has some true neons that I may end up getting, but I’m in full fall mode with my crafts so everything is pumpkin and olive green and eggplant right now.
Oh! I just bought that pattern like 2 weeks ago and I’ve been working up the nerve to start it lol! Looks like your making good progress so far! Let me know if it becomes particularly infuriating lol
I decided to tweak the pattern a little and do it on black cloth so as to avoid doing all the black. And maybe letting the characters and rain stand out a little. I’m really not looking forward to figuring out how to do the rain…
I just filled in some small parts on the back with sharpie to just kind of feather out the difference. I thought about doing the whole thing but I realized it would be overkill, and the sharpie smell was starting to get to me lol
Seems like it’s worked well then, if I didn’t already know about the issue I’d never have picked it out from this photo. Hope you never need to wash it 😬
Oh wow they’re lovely! Whatever you call that textured stitch on the bear really makes me want to touch it with my grubby little paws 😄 Also, it totally is the most wonderful time of the year and I won’t hear otherwise.
Thanks! It’s a split stitch, which is rapidly becoming one of my favorites for being so easy but having such nice texture. The original pattern used chain stitch, but that’s much more effort for a very similar effect.
And yes, I’m forcing myself to wait until October 1st to decorate for Halloween but I’m ready now.
Thanks! I’ve found the #FallFinishAlong over on Mastodon to be very motivational in terms of at least pulling out these old hibernating projects, even if I have no chance of actually finishing them during the event. Still, progress is progress 😅
