“it is a romantic idea, to be beautiful”

Another day, another custom piece. You’ve probably heard already, but I’m currently offering an extreme discount on custom embroidery – I’ll design and stitch anything that can fit in a 6″ hoop for you for only $20. That’s right! $20! I’ve only got four spots left, so if you’re interested let me know here in the comments or over on etsy asap.

I really enjoyed making this lovely thing for my friend Natalie. It was stitched on a lovely vintage napkin with cutwork in the top right corner, using hand-dyed cotton floss. Stitches used were satin stitch, backstitch, split stitch, and a few one-loop french knots. Pretty simple.

I thought the napkin itself was really lovely, so I kept it intact, tucking the excess fabric in the back, so Natalie can choose how she’d prefer to display it. I just used a modified version of this tutorial to do it.
