Embroidery: Variation on a Theme

I alluded to this in my last post about embroidery. Basically, I've loads of spare hospital gown fabric left over from my film as I used it as a prop in that, so now tying it in to some embroidery projects. Here's some flowers embroidered between the gaps in the original pattern on the gown:


The printed pattern made me think of flowers when I was wearing it to film in whilst shooting the reference material for my short. So I decided to take that and run with it and sew flowers in the gaps. Plus it is also in contrast to the negative/ unhappy connotations surrounding a hospital gown, so these flowers kind of cheer the whole thing up! And the fact that when recovering in hospital, flowers tend to be something you get sent. So yeah, that's basically what this one is about. Would be amazing to embroider the whole thing like this, but that would take for absolutely ever!
