Thank you both so much!

I hope that it is okay to ask for help with a pattern from an etsy seller (talk2thetrees). She says that she doesn't work off of a pattern and therefore doesn't have any to sell. Of course I would just be making this for myself and not to sell.

This is the hat I'd like to make, or, at least, something like it. If you know of another slouchy hat that is "open" like this, I would greatly appreciate it! It seems simple enough, but I'm too new at this to guess at a "pattern."


Thank you!

Hey all,

I have been embroidering for a few years now, mostly based on patterns of my own devising and freehand designs...

The cover of the Zombies' album Odessey and Oracle is just screaming to be turned into a large scale tapestry-like piece for hanging. It's got lots of chunks of the same colors, but I'm a little bit worried about the people/faces looking realistic. Does anyone have suggestions of getting this project started? (I was thinking lots and lots of tracing paper; using wax pencil/transfer paper in "layers")

Thanks!

i love the song and your animation! keep it up!!

Love this!  The black was indeed the perfect choice, but I'm also a huge fan of how architectural the font is, which makes it a perfect compliment to the map.  Great job.


Also, much icon love!  Craig Finn FTW!

Thanks! I am actually meeting up with/hanging out with my English pal AT a Hold Steady show tonight!!!

That's really cool! I like the simplicity of the map design and putting it on black cloth was def a good call!

Thanks! I was definitely inspired by this:
