embroidery from sublimestitching.com

i'd been afraid of embroidery, or at the very least overwhelmed by embroidery, until i discovered Jenny Hart of sublime stitching. her designs are fantastic; she has tattoo designs and pin up girls, pirate skulls and primping chihuahuas. there is even an artist series that lets you embroider works from the likes of kurt halsey on all things fabric.





i learned to embroider using her book, and apparently can't even visit the site to get the address to link without spending $30. oops. but she does have a ton of new designs, all worth checking out. you can iron them on fabric and stitch away. embroidery is amazingly soothing and very satisfying, in my opinion. if you're looking to start out, i can't think of a better entry than jenny's book.
