I've been learning embroidery! My 1st piece is on the left & my 2nd is on the right. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

I got these kits from a small business called Capital Stitch Co. It comes with everything you need to make it. Thread, fabric, hoop, bobbins, pattern stabilizer, & even a needle!

BTW thank you for all the love & excitement over this new chapter! I promise I will get to everyone's comments & posts as soon as I can ❤️

@Catsandbooks have you seen her on IG or tiktok? This is my crafting goal!!! Each time you read a book you embroider a symbol of it on a sleeve! my hope is to wear a fun embroidered hoodie to Apollycon in April- but i thought the crafter in you might find this interesting!

This book is exactly what it says it is: techniques, patterns, and samplers for blackwork embroidery. Unfortunately, it doesn‘t have any information about doing blackwork on clothing (as it historically was), which is what I really want to do. But I suppose I can practice on Aida and figure out the rest myself.

Embroiders Ferris has a second book coming. It‘s available for pre- order. Her embroidery is gorgeous. 🐈

Quick and informative book on embroidery, including a wide variety of historical styles. There didn‘t seem to be any rhyme or reason as to the different styles described (one of the contributors‘ bios has a lot about her being a sashiko expert but there‘s no sashiko?) and I think many of them could have used more description, but I really liked being introduced to some styles I‘d never heard of. With modifications, I may try some of the projects.

This book is gorgeous and informative, but it‘s too dang heavy and the font is really small and cramped. For a book that has so much emphasis on design, they really didn‘t design that aspect well.

No audiobook at the moment but I wanted to share this project anyway 😊 going to be a birthday gift to my brother-in-law 🪡

I forgot to do this yesterday so I‘ll have two. 😊

SO GOOD!!

Thanks, @ChaoticMissAdventures
