So I finished my coat refashion embroidery project.. just in time for it to warm up! But that's ok.. I'm ready for spring!!! Anyways.. I can't decide... no flowers up top on the lapel or should I add 1.. or more.. what do you think????Here's a close up of the embroidery.... love the 3d flower effect! And the extra large design was pretty easy thanks to the grand hoop my Pfaff 2170 uses!
I added new buttons.. the old ones were tarnished gold... and ugly.
I had so much fun re fashioning this coat! And I think it looks great...its exactly what my coat closet needed.... if I could just decide about the lapel....
Here's another pair of boots I embroidered... these were $3 at a thrift store... perfect for embroidery projects! The butterfly is 3d! I've got lots of compliments on these....
I also added a applique 3d embroidery flower to the recent purse I just made... I think it adds a little more style to it.
Recent crochet projects finished.... A bolero... because I wear them soooo often!
This pic didn't turn out the way I wanted but this yarn is beautiful! Its black alpaca with sliver, gold, blue and pink sparkle threads all through it !! Making it compatible with lots of my wardrobe!
Its now a long sleeve triangle lace shrug...
This week on the sewing machine..... The Bald Man's new shirt! He picked this fabric out himself while we were in ATL last time at Gail K's. I am finished with it... I'll get pics when we go out tonight. Ofcourse he wanted embroidery on it but I finished it up in 2 days... not bad time.... Ya know I have to make him shirts and stuff from time to time so he'll keep buying me machines!
