From Plain to Stitchy in an Afternoon

[Avrienne]

With all the stitching I've been doing lately, I started looking around for embroidery blogs to follow for inspiration, and I hit paydirt!  I just love feeling stitchy and as soon as I saw the most recent post about the stitchalong for this month, I knew I had to jump on it.




It's not my best work, because I was so eager to start that I didn't use a stabilizer or even transfer the pattern--I just sat at my computer with the design image enlarged.  It only took me about an hour and a half from start to finish, and even though I ended up using colors outside my usual wardrobe palette, I just love it!

I love feeling stitchy!  I saw that pattern and haven't created it myself but do love it.  You did a great job using their pattern and I love that its on clothing so it's something you can show off anywhere.  I am definitely inspired

This is beautiful! I love the pattern and color choices. Even if you think it's messy, I think it is wonderful! Also... matches your hair which is also very cute

I really love the design and the way you stitched it, and the few flaws is nice, it gives it a nice touch
