This is what the overall frame with the pomegranate and daffodil look like right now:

( Cut, because it's pictures, and I don't want to clutter my friends' list... )

in brief, embroidered jacket, embroidery, costuming

This.
I have a vision of a Mobb of women in simple dresses holding spindles and needles at guard and saying "Give us the jacket and no one gets hurt..."

*That* will be when the spindles and needles will get really interesting! Melee?

just a plain double running stitch. :)

What about the stems? I had thought stem stitch, but they seem thicker than that ...

I can't wait to see the finished jacket! Just this little bit is so amazing.

The stems are reverse chain stitch. :)

what stitch did you use for the gold?

LOVELY!!

Re: jacket attack_laurel September 8 2009, 16:00:26 UTC

I used a round "cobweb" stitch for the berries, a detatched buttonhole for the gold fill, and ceylon stitch for the centers of the daffodil. :)
