craftalotI'm going to the BFI Merlin screening next month and I wanted something silly to wear. And then I got this idea into my head that wouldn't go away. So I found a workable top, some brightly coloured embroidery thread and decided that I hadn't done any needlework in far too long a time.
The result is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek Gwen/Morgana slogan shirt:
I started with this top from Next, which I picked out because the main body of it was blank. Then I wrote on my design with eyeliner (far more effective than tailor's chalk - lasts longer, and easy to wash off after so long as you don't use the water-proof variety):
I also marked on my boob-line and waist line when I was wearing it, to help with the spacing of the text.
Then, in running stitch I did the lettering, in pink and yellow:
The flowing lines are in chain-stitch, which looks complicated but is REALLY easy, (just thread each new stitch through the loop of the old one), and the little flowers are in daisy stitch - which is a buggar because getting the petals even lengths takes FOREVER and you keep having to unthread the damn things and re-do them. Still - eventually got them all in reasonable shap. ^_^
And this is what it looks like on. (Took a picture in the mirror and then reversed it in photoshop to make it readable. 'Cause I'm clever like that. -_^)
This is the first big piece of needlework I've done in a while but it's come out fairly well. Also, I'm just highly amused that I get to have 'Gwen/Morgana' written across my boobs. :P
