A WONDERFUL THOUGHT

Spending my days watching the Olympics. That's weird how much i'm into it considering how much i don't like sport the rest of the time! While doing so my hands feel pretty bored though, so i started a little sewing project to keep them busy.

I spotted this cute embroidery pattern a while ago and decided to use it but with a different sentence.

I had no fabric on hand so i went with aida cloth instead. It's definitely not perfect since it shows a little through when exposed to direct sunlight, but since i'm keeping it far from direct light it's just fine on my wall!

I liked the original sentence but i had another one on my mind at the time, so what i did is write the sentence down on photoshop, pick a pretty font and then printed it at the right scale. I then used it to copy the text on the cloth with a light pencil and began stitching.

Here's how it looks:

DIY: EMBROIDERY HOOP

Hi there!

Today I'm gonna share with you my latest DIY project that I showed you on yesterday post. It's a cute little sewed fabric that's now hanging on my wall on an embroidery hoop. I love those little things because they make great wall decoration, they're pretty cheap and they help me use these stash of cute fabrics I buy from time to time on flea markets but never use (my secret wish is to learn how to make a quilt).

For this one I used a white and pink polka dot fabric and chose to write 'let's go'. It's pretty much my favorite sentence nowadays, I just don't seem to get over my need for travel, I want to see it all :)

So here it is, with a quick step by step process for those interested!

Have a great weekend!
