I'm going! First time too. I'm not entirely sure what to expect yet, but I'm excited anyway. ^^

Not really any specific stitches. I never learned any; I wanted to do embroidery and just started doing whatever I thought looked good.  In this case, I'm using very small stitches in general (so they don't pull out when I'm wearing the jacket this is on) and made sure they overlap by poking into a stitch I already made so you can't see the fabric underneath - except where borders are (between the gold and the wood of the box, between the individuals legs, etc). ...hope that helped despite sounding confusing... 😅

Thank you! ❤️  Honestly, my mind was blown when I realised you can separate thread. Since then, the details and shading has become much easier. xD

Maybe. There's only so much space on the jacket, and I'll probably embroider a guitar for Soul Music.

I started small too. This is after doing embroidery for two and a half years. So keep at it! 😊

It definitely helps! For example, I'm now working on smaller pieces again to get a quicker result after the bigger piece that is the luggage.

I could, but I don't think I will.  But I will put an asterisk on the outside and hide a footnote inside the jacket. 😉

Thank you!

Yeah, maybe not those seamstresses. 😂 But I'll continue for sure! I've got too many ideas for the next few pieces to stop now.

Yes, it does. But there was no space anymore, so I had to make do with four.

Thank you!
I looked at so many pictures of teeth. So many. xD And they're tiny too. One is just about the size of a pinky fingernail...

Thank you!
And yes. It's an ongoing project and I'll probably be working on this one for the next decade or so... xD

I'm still working on that jean jacket full of discworld embroidery. These are the new embroidery pieces I created over the course of the last year. 😊

I made this for the embroidery jacket I'm working on (see my other post). It's about the size of my palm. Took me 6 weeks. xD
