After several months of work, I finished this embroidery project yesterday. It's my second ever attempt at embroidery and I'm really, really happy with the result.

Also, a few weeks ago, my partner and I did a little photoshoot at a nearby park with the previous iteration (which is identical except for the golden circle).

23 days and an awful lot of “what’s that?” questions from teachers later, i present: my masterpiece!

The RED corduroy trousers... FINISHED

they are finally complete, my index finger has grown a callous from hand sewing so solid that if I where to poke someone they would think I threw a rock at them, I fear it will never return to normal, I may start to consider a thimble. I HATE thimble's. I don't understand them, I fear them.

anyway, again the process of taking photos was a nightmare, I had the genius idea of just filming myself posing in the trousers and them trying to grab freeze frames of the video, HOWEVER it terns out if you are constantly moving the freeze-frames will in fact show that movement... so please be gentle withe the photo quality lol.

also I ended up hand sewing a red cotton lining into the pants to protect the embroidery backing.

if you have any questions about the project, or advice/recourses on how to do things like this feel free to comment or message, I'm always happy to talk embroidery and up cycling fashion.

Gonna miss the MetroCard 😔 had a lot of good memories traveling with this card. Wish I kept the student MetroCards during my school years. Figured it was about time to embroider this in memory of the MetroCard.

Embroidery stitch resource!!

Fun fact for all you embroiderers out there:

The Royal School of Needlework has a FREE library with over 500 stitches in it, along with a short tutorial for each one! Very useful if you're learning about embroidery and/or want to expand your knowledge! Just found out about this today and already I'm learning a lot. <3

There are different categories of stitches, sorted by technique, use, and structure, as well as a stitch wall that has all the different kinds of stitches they've documented so far. (More are being added as time goes on.)

Each stitch has the different names it's known by, its history, and different tags on it so you can look for specific kinds of stitches, or see what applications a certain stitch has. Very cool!

Also, this is a non-profit, and they have a link to donate if you are so inclined, so that others can continue to benefit from it. <3

Hope this helps! Go forth and embroider! <3

October Rising Day 9

Day 9 - Thread

Aeol is my lair's local craftsman. Thread is but one of many materials he lays his hands on during day to day activities. He enjoys sitting down to hand-embroider from time to time.
