Title: First Embroidery (of my life) for a bed cover project!
Post by: ColdRuru on July 10, 2018, 06:43:27 AM
Well recently I got some vintage My Little Pony curtains and wished to do me clothes with.
But my mother argued it's not a good fabric for that and said we could do a bed cover with instead. So I said yes.
Then I had an idea: how about to do some ponies with emboidery to push the color of the fabric?! So I've got as an answer "doesn't count on me to do this" and "do you ever try emboidery (cf do you know how long & hard it is?)" so I got to admit I never did such a thing.
So my mother went to found me a blank fabric, got me a pencil and said "draw a pony, I will teach you". That's what we did, and here I am after 2 whole days of work with my very first emboidery work of my life  :biggrin:

Then, I wanted to show you the emboidery with the fabric I plan to embellish (6 ponies in line were choosen on) but well... u see what I mean?

So I'll keep you updated on this project, but I may need to finish a drawing before :blush:
Really need to kick up myself!

Nice job! Embroidery is tedious. Twilight looks great though, can't wait to see more :)

That’s so cool! Embroidery is really quite hard so well done for sticking at it for two whole days! I am terrible at it!

Thanks you everyone! I was not sure of what to think about it but it seems like it's appreciated :biggrin:
To be honest, I'm a bit affraid of the whole project.
 :lovey:

Yes it's really the first time I do that and I made the whole pattern myself ;)

Thanks you so much!
I've got two kitty, they are full sisters and came from the barn (stray cats). Love them so much.
But that one with pink nose is ALWAYS in my feets, she's following me like a dog, coming when I call her and wants to be center of my attention h24 :lol: :lol: :lol:

Awesome! Oh man, it looks so cool! I hope you show the finished product. I for one would love to see it. Y’know, as a how much your skill grew sort of thing. And also as an excuse to see the kitties again.

Thanks you all, it warms my heart to read you :lovey:

Awesome! Oh man, it looks so cool! I hope you show the finished product. I for one would love to see it. Y’know, as a how much your skill grew sort of thing.

Yeah of course I will show you the whole process and finished product!

So I started the ponies on the fabric, it's more easy as I don't have to drawn the pony by myself aha. The only problem is that I saw some defaults in the original drawing and I try not to correct it too much to stick to that original drawing.
Also, I've used the same idea with subtle shading.

I post you this step so you can watch how it looks in progress and with the line:

It turned out beautifully, ColdRuru! Love the shading, and the outline gives it some nice definition. I can't begin to imagine the work that went into those tiny symbols! :faint:

I worked on the two next ponies, and make a little change as I don't want to do the same pony more than once... and well with the pattern it's not easy :lol:
