I couldn’t sleep this morning (lol) so I made this small tutorial.

I do a lot of things in lazy ways and this is one of them! clothing pattern and embroidery typically look good when it’s very neat (ie uniform width throughout the pattern) but that means it’s a pain in the ass to hand draw. Here I used the following tools to help me take advantage of photoshop Selection and Stroke functions to create containment lines and borders that are of uniform width. Combined with the hand drawn pattern (with pressure sensitivity turned OFF) this benefits from both the organic look of the original pattern and the precision of photoshop selections, and makes it look very carefully handcrafted while taking no time at all.

functions used: 

Select layer content: Ctrl+click layer thumbnail

Expand selection: Select > Modify > Expand

Stroke: Edit > Stroke

Brush

Can be used to draw embroidery, create clean line art (ie shoe laces), draw lace, tattoo looking designs, etc

It should be noted that within this species females often travel in packs. This pack mentality serves as a natural deterrent against males who don’t have the drive to show their face to a whole group when courting a single female - a form of natural selection if you would. The pack waits behind the female being courted, ‘oohing’ and ‘ahing’, mechanisms used to separate the truly decisive males from the others. It is often observed that males who make it this point succeed in their efforts.

The male now slowly approaches the female, gift in hand - a rose, roses are commonplace as courtship gifts within this particular sub-species known as ‘high-schoolers’. After a brief moment the female takes the rose, he’s done it. A snicker ensues from the female’s pack, the male embraces the female and pats her on the back - the female, visually deterred by this, smiles and returns to her pack.

Here’s a snippet about her from this article (that also features more photographs of her work, including this sculpture):
