Over Easter break, whilst trying to find creative things to do, I took up embroidering. I've always admired embroidering and I always think its a great skill to learn.
At first I thought it would be quite difficult, I read a few blogs on how to and even watched a youtube video. But It was very easy! I know how to sew in general from sewing on patches and fixing up wear and tear on my own clothes. But it seemed so simple and I feel a bit silly for not trying this out years ago.
But I didn't know what I wanted to be my test piece, I decided on my hand logo. I have this on my business card and the bottom on my emails.
From this trial, I have learnt that:
A. Use less thread.
B. Buy enough of the same colour thread.
C. Draw on the material with a light pen not a pencil and try and rub it out.
D. Be as neat as possible when starting the outline
and E. Practice makes perfect! This wasn't going to be a masterpiece but it turned out better than I actually imagined.
