Hello Kitty

I love my boy. Today I sent him out for one skein of black embroidery thread and he came back with twenty different colours!

 

I really need a better way of storing these, they get a bit tangled in there. Any suggestions?


Yesterday I made this waving fortune cat embroidery, he's a bit adorable. This, and yesterday's embroidery were made using template's I bought from Sublime Stitching, an amazing website dedicated to unique, cool and alternative embroidery! If you haven't, you should definitely check it out. I have this whole book of super cute templates including roller boots, unicorns, robots and pin-up girls - amazing!

  1. Yes you are blessed with that man! Wow. Those look fab - mine are also in a tin and it's havoc in there! I love Sublime Stitching - brilliant site - ad am eyeing out some patterns. Your embroidery is great - love the fabric you used too.

  2. I am very lucky indeed, he's a real catch. Thank you, I'm still quite new to embroidery, so I've only really learnt stem and chain stitches, should probably try something else...x

  3. you could wind them onto little cardboard spools which you can write each colour name and number on - I do it this way which is a really neat and convenient way to store them.
