2 more done, 3 left to go. Book shirts. Urban Threads embroidery.

First of four free standing lace wings for my pegasus boots done. Three more to sew together.

The design is from Urban Threads if anyone is interested.

Soooo... I did a thing.

Twill shell, sherpa fleece lining, nylon core. Silkscreened back, embroidered buttonholes/drawstring holes and pockets. Cinchers on the sleeves to snug them up in cold weather. A loop in the back to hang it up at work. (Embroidery designs are from Urban Threads.)

It is so warm and geeky and I'm super pleased with it and glad I did this instead of just buying a coat, even if it took about a month of my free time and perforated my fingers. I'm excited to start wearing it!

“Oh Deer” mini plush, by Elizabeth Plaid on flickr

paid pattern by Urban Threads

Like many of my projects, this deer got set aside several times. I printed the pattern in December 2014, then worked on satin stitches in 2016. So finishing in January 2019 is nice.

Stuffing the piece distorted some of the stitches, so I’ll try to fill in the gaps later. Or I’ll forget and be fine with it. Either way, I’m very proud of how pretty this turned out.

Some embroideries I did late summer/early fall, can’t remember if I posted them before. Designs are from Urban Threads.

With any luck, I should be in Indianapolis for Gencon by now :-)  *fingers crossed*  To celebrate my Nerdcation, here are pics of my “Geek Flair” jacket, with the patches curated and re-sewn. There’s a big empty space on the back, but all the better for adding new patches later :-). Some of which I may try to make myself, like the Ace-flag heart and the Urban Threads logo. There was also lots of fabric-puckering previously, and adding patches to the ends of sleeves is bad if you want to roll them up in the summer, so it’s also much comfier to wear after edits. Yay for army surplus. I had to crop it because it’s a “men’s work shirt” and men don’t have hips like mine, but it actually suits my figure better that way. I plan to wear this every day of con, so if you see it, that’s probably me innit, lol. This is just a great project in general, I recommend it for any of my fellow geeky sewcialists :-)

Finally stitching out a few new designs! (And finding out what's on the old floppy disks now that I have a program that can read and write the files for the machine.)

I work at a library now, so it's time for book shirts! Thanks Urban Threads for having that sale!
