I finished my little car!
I made a small change to the pattern by making the spokes of the wheels black and yellow instead of just yellow as the pattern dictates, because I didn't like the look of it.

Either way I'm sure dad will like it, because he likes cars and will appreciate the effort I put into making it.

♥️Дозревает на столе моём пингвиненок.

На электрическом свете пузико этого малыша ярко искрит и переливается, лапки и клюв вышиты шелком, крылышки и макушка - из японского ювелирного бисера, поэтому они тоже мягко мерцают, почти как влажное оперение настоящей птички. Японская булавка с поворотным механизмом и чёрная натуральная кожа на изнанке.

Here is my journey to make a name patch. The top had a lot of gaps between the feathers and while it gives an outline it wasn't the look I was going for. I also double embroidered part which made it stick out more but also wasn't what I was trying to do.

Second attempt (middle) is better, but still gaps and the middle got messed up from puckering and some other issues.

Third attempt I made a bunch of changes from what I had learned, redesigned the center, routed jump stitches, and then switched to orange so I wouldn't use all my silver thread and I really like it. I might just slap velcro on the back of that one and wear it.

The key with any learning experience is to examine the failures and experiment to fix it. Starting from scratch with this design I am proud of how it turned out in the end. Using Ink Stitch for digitizing and a Brother SE700 for stitching.

I am working on the upcoming release of my insect magnets! 🦋
Today, I finished 5 purple moths (I put the finished ones on my girls’ cage hehe), I will get started on the beetles tomorrow!

There will be 5 of each model available for the first drop. I’m hoping to release them on Sunday. I will keep you updated!

i added LOTS of patches to my waist pouch and brought it along thinking i’d need it for outfits without pockets. turns out i’m just wearing it all the time for the great convenience of storing my face mask! it’s something i frequently take on and off whenever we pop indoors and out.

I have a show opening in two days, and I should be spending every free moment on finishing an informational article for it.

Instead I have started a new project that I may or may not even like at the end for what it is intended. Last 2 months have been so much administrative work that my brain craves creating with my hands, not by typing!!!

Appliqué embroidery on a thrifted T-shirt which I made after punk singer Poly Styrene died in 2011.
This was before I even owned a sewing machine so I had to stitch the letters on by hand.
I can't remember where the green satin came from but I still have the spool of neon yellow thread. 😂
The T-shirt doesn't exist anymore but I salvaged the embroidery and turned it into a patch.
