I may or may not be a little bit late for the EU stitchers but here it is!
Past week has been a little hectic and progress was slower than usual. I started learning crochet so that slowed me down too but I managed to finish another page from the Greenhouse of Oddities SAL!
I also did some work on the other project that I sadly cannot show now due to the future recipient being right next to me 😅… But it definitely looks like what it’s supposed to now.
Oh gosh, this is super intimidating because I’m nowhere near as talented as a lot of people I’ve seen on here. I’ve only been embroidering for maybe a month, month and a half. I’m working on another piece at the same time, so this is either my 4th or 5th project, depending how you count it, and the 1st that isn’t from a kit. I don’t know why I picked a pattern that’s almost entirely satin stitch when I’m so bad at it, but here we are. I’m also not sure that I like using this stick n stitch stuff - it makes it a lot harder to get the needle exactly where I want it and it (clearly) makes the fabric prone to wrinkling, but I guess I’ll see how it turns out. Anyway, my many insecurities aside, I’m having a great time with it, and it’s good practice, so it’s worth doing I think.
The pattern is rearranged from this one to make it fit in a 5"x7" frame.
This looks amazing 😍! Glad I’m not the only one who got in an autumn mood as soon as it cooled down a bit.
Thank you! I see so many flaws, but I’m trying to remember that it’s ok not to be amazing at something immediately.
And I love summer, but fall colors are my favorites. I bought some beautiful dark brown cotton and all the fall-colored floss the other day. Don’t even have a plan for them yet, I just needed to have them.
I love everything Halloween and fall. And your stitching looks great!! How do you get the stitching interface out when you are done?
It dissolves in water. I tested it on a smaller piece and it worked but it did kind of wrinkle some of my satin stitching and leave the fabric a little stiff, so it’s not my favorite. But easier than tracing more detailed designs for sure.
I decided to do something small and fun after I finished that last big piece, so I’m working on these little Star Wars figures I found on Amazon! I didn’t realize how detailed they are when I bought this lol! Now that I’ve finished Leia and Han I have to figure out which one to do next
Small projects are always a treat. I find that they stop me from burning out and getting overwhelmed. Also…
To stitch Yoda you must.
I’m leaning towards Yoda, Luke, and R2D2 right now
They are so tiny and cute. Little Yoda would be adorable.
I have now completed Yoda, Luke, and R2D2! I’m finishing up C3P0 and will post them all soon!
