/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I don't embroider as much as I do other sewing/needlework projects but I enjoy it a lot too. I'm self taught so I probably don't have the best technique. I usually trace a pattern onto fabric, hoop it and then 'color in the lines' with embroidery floss. I like the feeling of painting with thread, if that makes sense. I'd like to try using other things like yarn or ribbon sometime as well.

(team Valor bandana I did as an example)

Embroidered a team Valor bandana/scarf to wear when I go pokemon hunting with some friends. I'm not completely happy with the trim/hem but I can live with it.

I'm doing a team Mystic one as well for an art trade with a friend, and because I'm a filthy traitor.
