I told you I would share my last embroidery project before having Harper, and here it is!
I decided to stitch the Sugar Skull design from the wonderful new book, Embroidered Effects by Jenny Hart. If you don't have this book yet, get it ASAP! It is amazing and full of inspiration. I'm not kidding when I say I want to stitch everything in the book. And as it turns out, I did stitch 3 projects for the book! I just had to keep it a secret until the book was released. Be on the look out for the Fan Dancer Shower Curtain, the Bird Jeans, and the Tattoo Work Shirt, all stitched by yours truly!
So on to the Sugar Skull! (Which was stitched by my talented friend Floresita, for the book.) I absolutely LOVE this design. I fell in love with it in the preview photos, and I fell in love all over again when I saw the beautiful pictures in the book.
I had some black onesies, and I decided to dress one up by making a felt applique using the Sugar Skull design. Here's how it looks:
Unfortunately, this is a size 3 to 6 months, so Harper won't be able to wear it this year. I'm thinking about listing it in my Etsy shop, since I don't know of any other babies to gift it to at the moment. If any of my readers are interested, just email me and let me know!
Oh! If you haven't seen it already, take a look at my friend Kristi's stitched version of this Sugar Skull. It's BEE-YOO-TIFUL! Her macro embroidery shots are drool worthy.

I'm not a skull type of person but it's beautifully stitched! I'm very curious about the Sublime Stitching book. :)
ReplyDeleteI really REALLY love this on black. You rock. And thanks for the shout out, mama! ♥
ReplyDeleteI love this onesie. I have the book and can't wait to stitch the Sugar Skull design. Did you do the embroidery first and than sew it onto the on?

Hi. I just found your blog. Great stuff! I'm wondering how you edged the scull on the felt. Does the felt cut with a clean edge like that, or is it folded over?
