Embroidery o_o
Updates
I went to JoAnn's fabrics today. I found some nice off white linen and some cotton plaid goodness for lining. If you check under the cut you can see the one of the linens I bought. I'm planning on recreating a style of shirt that I like...it's an old shirt my dad gave me a while back that has a big neck part, and big sleeves. I'll post a picture of that too >< But unfortunately, due to it's age, it has lots and lots of holes in it. Does that stop me from wearing it for a sleep shirt? Oh no ^^ But I do need something like it for wearing in public right? So...weekend project here I come ;D
I got myself a small embroidery hoop and some skeins today too!! Woohoo! I glanced briefly at a beginners embroidery book...but I'll either have to look online or get my self a little book so I can actually learn some techniques...in the mean time, come see what havoc I wroked!

omg fish o_o I think I want to sew a couple of these on my bathing suit...hee...maybe it'll help me swim faster.
Sheepy, on my black short shorts. The fabric was stretchy so...some things came out funny. The sheep should help me sleep :p
Pocket decoration on one of my night shirts. Kinda cute I suppose... I kept reminding myself not to accidentally sew the pocket closed >< how much would that suck?
thats all for now. Like I say, tips, tricks, opinions, and/or compliments are always welcome~
Goodbye for now~
