Hey everyone, my winter 6PAC is turning into a Hawaii thing. Or a spring thing. Or something that seems rather un-wintry.
The skirt is a second-hand one I bought many years ago in London. I really like the embroidery and may add more.
Here’s a close up of the skirt embroidery.
This is an Anita Goodesign embroidery design. I used Sulky Rayon thread and a tear-away stabiliser. Instead of hooping the skirt next time I may do the embroidery as a patch on felt. I love all the colours in this embroidery.
And a view of the shirt that shows the reverse appliqué on the sleeve and back.
I used a wash-away stabiliser but I haven’t washed the shirt yet. This shirt used all my main machines: sewing machine, overlocker, coverstitch AND embroidery. Actually, it was a lot of work for for a t-shirt and although I had planned to re-use this pattern I am not sure I want to. I will post a close up of the reverse appliqué when I get the shirt out of the wash. Oh – shirt pattern Ottobre 5/2015 number 8; reverse appliqué embroidery is another Anita Goodesign design.
