New Embroidery

Started these little stars towards the beginning of the year and finished them only yesterday morning! But you know, been super busy making my film(!) so my embroidery output has significantly slowed of late. Hopefully that should all pick up again soon as my film is drawing towards the finish line and I have a LOT of exciting and fun embroidery ideas, so watch this space!

The stars were embroidered on a scrap of hospital gown I cut off from the one I bought for my film as a prop. I've a load more fabric from it left to use and quite a few ideas for it, so there will be a fair amount of 'variation on a theme' kind of stuff from me this year...

The pics below is the 'before' and 'after' where I washed off the dissolvable stabiliser. It definitely needs a good go over with an iron, but I don't really like how the stabiliser leaves the stitching: it always feels pretty crusty and leaves it looking puckered. I guess I need to do a bit more research into using it- maybe I'm not washing it out thoroughly enough or just don't have the right technique for it yet- I'm still pretty new to the process. Any tips, drop them below!
