Wear your Social Media!

This wasn't a planned creation. I was at Goodwill, just looking for some tennis balls for my dogs to play with. Imagine going to Goodwill and going in for what you are looking for and not looking at everything else. Well that never happens. That day I found some cool buttons, frames, leather...and a jean jacket. As soon as I saw it I thought about how I could embellish or embroider on it. I was just there on Friday, so as you can tell the cogs moved pretty quickly.

Socially Wired. Aren't we all are these days? I took all of the popular social networking sites and some often used terms and embroidered them on the jacket.

Now, wait till you see what I have planned for the leather...

UPDATE: My jean jacket was featured on the CT Publishing Blog... October Creative Troupe Round-Up

An Elegant Victorian Boot Hand Embroidery Art

I was playing around with some designs and decided that I wanted to create an embroidered boot. I love the 1860s. The fashion, writing, history so I did some research on clothing. After doing that research I designed this Victorian boot. I can easily see a lady, Northern or Southern, slipping this boot on and taking an evening stroll. Or, going on a date with the newest beau.

I plan on offering this in a kit, or a pdf pattern only, and digitized to sew out on an embroidery sewing machine. This design is only 3 1/2 x 3 1/2.
