That last post had a much wider reach than I expected! Thanks for the likes and kind words! I still want to add more leaves to the dandelion plant and some details to the poppy stems and leaves but I like it so far. #handembroidery #handembroidereddenim #embroideredflowers

It’s pretty helpful having my in-progress photos here so I can remember how I drew the design when my chalk pencil rubs off. Oh, and I broke my beautiful glass needle minder 😩. I’m going to glue it back together when I have access to Zap (when the next work project gets green lit).

Progress on the latest jacket embroidery.

I’m unemployed again so I’m working on crafts! Here’s one of the latest embroideries in progress:

I’m working on some new designs for these stamped scrap leather earrings. I have a couple crafts sales coming up in May, one at Multnomah Arts Center and one at Wonderwood’s Rat King Bazaar.

Rainy days when the world feels chaotic and unpredictable are good for organizing my embroidery threads.

I suppose I should have done a before picture. 🪡🧵✨

The finished moth appliqué on one of my vintage jackets

I like the underside of the moth almost as much as the front. Now I have new plans for some embroidery on black.

Moths and butterflies on my sewing and mending projects.

Trying out this app while holed up in my craft room sanctuary.
