EMBROIDERY My logo cover up!
My inspiration! XD
Getting started and already regretting the size...
All that outline was sooooo tedious!
Aaaand I forgot to keep taking progress photos, so here we are!

I feel like I didn’t know how many of “my kinda people” were out there not giving free advertising to corporations 🥰

I love it !!!
Could anyone recommend a good tutorial to learn how to do something similar ?
What is the white cloth's purpose ? Is it like interfacing in clothing, to strenghten the fabric, or does it enable to draw the pattern the dissolve ?
Sorry for the flood of questions, I'm just really inspiré by this splendide mend. 🤩

It’s just an iron on interfacing to give some stability/stiffness to the embroidery because you don’t usually embroider on stretchy fabric. I just drew my design right on it, I think you can get fancy embroidery stuff that like washes away when you’re done or something but this was literally just from the dollar store!

Your stitching really has great texture and captures fur!

Captured fur literally and figuratively.

Are ppl down voting this because they think it's an insult? With no comment attached it's impossible to know the intent, and either way you can't deny the accuracy 🤣 As a bit of a Carl wheezer type myself I think it's a compliment

Ooh, niiccee. I've been wanting to make a patch on a bag I have and haven't looked up how to do it. Makes sense with the progression photos.

This is a real "Now draw the rest of the Owl" moment.
However, what you've done is fantastic!

I love that you and your cat have the same coloring. It’s like the dogs/owners montage at the beginning of 101 Dalmatians. Great coverup too!

Pretty new to embroidery so I thought a clearance reebok hoodie would be a good place to practice. I've sewn on patches over logos before, and done some tiny embroidery over repairs, but this was my first time designing and embroidering on stretchy fabric, note to self: get a heartier interfacing for next time.
