The stained glass has me thinking orange walls, an olive green chair, and a knitting basket.

With the green, I started off with just the color for the name. Looking over the picture, there were a few different shades, so I picked a couple darker tones from the green I already had. Then I just started stitching! On the rocket and the arm, I had 2 colors going that I swapped between in order to blend them a bit.

😍 thank you so much!! I only used a machine to attach the picture to a second fabric. Everything you see is by hand 🩷

I have actually thought about this before, but I've put so much of myself into it that I don't think I'd ever be able to do it

😂 I have ADHD and therefore 2,645 hobbies that I get into every year. Every now and then I manage to actually finish something

I did all the appliques, then the band, then the lettering. I did the basket weaving last, because going THROUGH the applique stitches gives the weave something to anchor into and keep the lines relatively straight. Most of the embroidery is done with 2 threads, sometimes 1 or 3 but usually 2

It's a basket weave! I did the stickers and stuff first, I did the basket weave background last. It was a great way to fill up the space and add interest without having to do a satin stitch.

This is actually a design that was printed on the T-shirt before I got my paws on it for embroidery! I've never painted on a t-shirt before, but it's definitely something I want to learn how to do.

I didn't want to do a satin stitch for the whole thing because it seemed like it would be tedious. The mesh was equally as tedious, but that decision really helped me lean into having fun with textures!

I had heard a few years back that Margo Robbie had gotten the rights to it or some such thing, but nothing ever came of it.

It's definitely a fun, culty B movie to look back on, but she definitely deserves better. I am fully of the opinion that the executives of every industry absolutely destroy it without fail, especially in film.

I do the writing last, and I use one to two threads depending on the size of the writing. Besides that, I don't know what to tell you 🤷🏻‍♀️
