Ten blue butterflies hand embroidered on an oversized zip up hoodie 🦋

Zip up — from Amazon (Trendy Queen)

Rough process:

I took a picture of the zip up laid flat. Planned out the butterfly designs in Procreate. Traced the drawings on Sulky Sticky Solvy. Cut out the different butterflies and stuck them in the locations I planned with my iPad. Then I stitched a running stitch around each butterfly. Then I placed an embroidery hoop on the fabric & solvy. I did have to go to my local hardware store to purchase a longer screw and bolt to be able to fit the sweatshirt fabric in the hoop. When I was all finished, I applied iron on interfacing to cover and protect the threads and backside of the embroideries. I soaked the embroidery in a water-vinegar mixture to set the colors and to minimize chances of the colors bleeding. Then soaked and rinsed off the remaining solvy. I did have to run the zip up through the wash a couple of times because the sticky goo residue was being stubborn to remove.

This is my first project in 9 months. My stepdaughters birthday is coming up at the beginning of July. I have 12 blue butterflies planned to stitch on a zip up hoodie for her. This is the first of them.

I have never stitched on clothing before, always have been intimidated by it. I’m concerned about packing too many stitches in on the fabric, it’s so easy to do. When there’s too many stitches in an area it causes ripples and puffs on the fabric. This first butterfly does puff because I did put too many stitches in when I started out. I’m hoping that once I add iron on stabilizer to the back that gives it some structure.

Here’s to the next 😊🤞

(None of these butterflies will be accurate in color or species)

Lace No Face

I am always so honored when someone contacts me and requests that I remake a piece that I truly enjoyed drafting, designing, and creating.

The lace No Face was so great to create the first time around. It was my first time diving into beads and into lace. And I honestly think I had more fun the second time!

I have enjoyed this commission and truly hope that the recipient adores it as well.
