Hey, Hey! I was taking lots of photos yesterday and thought I would snap a few of my latest project. Embroidery has been my new nightly project. I like to have a sit around project for the evenings or when I am waiting to pick a kid up from some activity, you know, something portable.
I decided to use some of my drawings from my new line of Bugapalooza fabric to play around with. I don't have an end project in mind. I might sew it in to a project or I might leave it in the hoop, haven't decided that one yet.
To transfer the design to my fabric, I used my new Friction pens that I got from my son for Christmas, thanks Fletch! They are super cool, made by pilot, and can be found in office stores. They erase with heat. I do notice a bit f a white line left after ironing but with the embroidery covering the lines up anyway, I think they are perfect for this. If you are curious, I posted a little video on instagram of the pen in action.Once I figure out what I'm making, I'll be sure to post some photos.
Have a great day,

Gosh your embroidery looks lovely Jennifer. So bright and happy. Those Frixon pens are fabulous aren't they. I use them all the time but only found out last week that the wee grey bit on the end rubs out the pen as well. Great pens
ReplyDeleteI agree Deb, the Friction pens are great!
DeleteLove the embroidery! Have you thought about wearables...blue jean jacket, jeans, bags? It would be lovely! You are truly inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
