Embroidered Eels shirt
Jun. 21st, 2005 10:38 pmI am finally going to see the Eels next week. I was looking through needlecrafter.com the othe night and found these cute birds, so I decided to make a shirt. This is the first thing I've ever embroidered, so it's not the best ever, and the words slant, but I think it's a good first try.
I used a white transfer pen to transfer the design to the white shirt. I haven't washed it yet, so I'm hoping that some of the white parts that still show will come out in the wash.

Words and birds.

Bird on chest.

How it looks on. The neckline at the back dips down to about bra-strap level, should I put something back there? I was thinking about two birds, facing each other, holding a banner, but then again, my fingers hurt.
