Best Piece I Ever Embroidered: A closer look




Stitches Magazine was a very nice honor to have my Dogwood Dollar Jacket in this last edition in the "Best Piece I Ever Embroidered" feature. stitches magazine September Issue.
I have had a few people ask if they can see some better images of this jacket and how it was done.

Here they are! This one dollar rack number was a fun fix and I was able to use some items from my old machine knitting days a fun way to incorporate texture into designs is to trap the "loose" pieces between the garment and solvy. Once it is all embroidered you can peel away the plastic and see the lovely fun thread showing through the designs.

The design choose for this jacket is an open work created by Erich Campbell and you may purchase this item here!
