Bewitched Me PDF Pattern now available

I took a picture of the zip up laid flat. Planned out the butterfly designs in Procreate. Traced the drawings on Sulky Sticky Solvy. Cut out the different butterflies and stuck them in the locations I planned with my iPad. Then I stitched a running stitch around each butterfly. Then I placed an embroidery hoop on the fabric & solvy. I did have to go to my local hardware store to purchase a longer screw and bolt to be able to fit the sweatshirt fabric in the hoop. When I was all finished, I applied iron on interfacing to cover and protect the threads and backside of the embroideries. I soaked the embroidery in a water-vinegar mixture to set the colors and to minimize chances of the colors bleeding. Then soaked and rinsed off the remaining solvy. I did have to run the zip up through the wash a couple of times because the sticky goo residue was being stubborn to remove.

(None of these butterflies will be accurate in color or species)

I have enjoyed this commission and truly hope that the recipient adores it as well.
