Critter Stitcher

Hello :)

First I find a photo of an animal I want to stitch, I look at the pose and draw it this way on paper, then I transfer the pattern to fabric and that’s when the fun part begins: choosing colors, I look at the shadows different colors that the fur of the animal has, then I try to imagine places where I’m gonna use them. I start stitching from the head and work down looking at the photo all the time to make sure I do it right. Also I keep in mind the direction is which the fur goes as I stitch :)

hope that helped just a little bit, I haven’t been stitching for around 2 weeks lately (which makes me really uneasy) but It’s so hot here and I get really uncomfortable, waiting for some better weather now.

I'm taking a short break from embroidery at the moment, I want to focus on my final exams, school work and final year of high school. I'll post some of the photos I already have.

I'll be back in summer, so don't worry ;)

Hello!

I'm using Pilot's Frixion ball pen! I found this idea on the Internet and it totally works for me. They come in many different colours so you can pick the one you like, blue is the one I work with.

So  basically they are simple pens that can be erased, I was using them before I found out they are perfect for embroidery.

It's truly the best way possible to avoid unwanted markings and pencil :

- you just draw what you want using this pen, transfer patterns etc. 

- embroider 

- and to remove the markings simply iron it on the wrong side or if you need to, carefully around embroidered parts
