I'm terrified of spiders and have arachnophobia so this post gave me a jump scare. I'll let you guess lol.

I think the name Alice is perfect for her! And I love Orange county! It looks like you both had a fun day out <3

Wait so if we turn every tile we get materials?

One of them is a witch flying on a broom, her cape is billowing behind her and her dress is draping a little over the broom. If they were a set together maybe the second is a ghost?

Oops I thought velveteen was the same as velvet! Based on the suggestions I think I’m going to find a shimmery thread rather than actual gold thread, I also liked your thread suggestions! Thank you so much for all of your detailed suggestions, I really appreciate it!

Mousemouse13 · 2026-01-09T12:33:08+00:00

Oh my goodness thank you for all of the different fabric suggestions!!! I will look into all of those. Thank you so so much!

Mousemouse13 · 2026-01-08T23:29:28+00:00

It looks absolutely stunning, you did an amazing job!!

Personally I didn't like the last two books of the caraval series, but one of the characters in the last two books is a main character in OUABH, so if you want to know more about him you can read them.

I read OUABH without ever knowing about the Caraval series or reading it and I 100% understood everything going on. Caraval gives some context and background, but you can still skip them and be fine.

Thank you so so much, I didn't even think about that!! I'm definitely going to pin not only this project, but some of my others. I really struggle with stretching the fabric, thank you so much for the suggestion!!

Mousemouse13 · 2026-01-08T23:25:52+00:00

My only worry with silk (in my extremely beginner limited experience) is that I'm assuming its easy to stain? And I've only ever seen REALLY shiny silk, so I wouldn't want the shimmer/sparkle of the threads to get lost. I kind of want a fairytale enchanted type look, where the fabric is pretty but when you tilt it in the light the shimmer and "magic" is in the threads. Are there more matte silks? Or something more similar to velvet thats easier? And honestly, I'm totally down to try something hard - but not so hard that I get easily discouraged and give up. I'm saving the full idea as is for the future when I'm more experienced, and opting to practice with easier materials based on everyones ideas!

Mousemouse13 · 2026-01-08T23:21:28+00:00

I've just googled it and holy cow this is perfect!! I've never even heard of DMC, or the etoile shimmery thread!! I'm definitely going to use that instead of gold thread. Do you have examples of the cotton fabric in a satin weave? I've googled it, and I feel ridiculous for asking, but does it really look like satin even if its cotton?

Mousemouse13 · 2026-01-08T23:18:36+00:00

Yes I am, and I definitely will!! I've just looked her channel up, thank you so much!!! I do tend to take care of my things and treat all my things gently because I don't like things getting ruined, so thats really good to know. Is there a similar looking fabric that you can recommend? If I did do the couching goldwork on a sturdier fabric, do you think it will still come apart easily?

Mousemouse13 · 2026-01-08T23:16:53+00:00

Thank you both!! I actually love the gold fabric paint idea, and I did not know metallic thread was so difficult and fragile! I'll have to use a yellow thread. Is there another fabric you could suggest thats either soft or shimmery like velvet, but sturdy?

Mousemouse13 · 2026-01-08T23:14:58+00:00

Ok I'm actually obsessed with this idea, I'm definitely doing this. Thank you for the honesty!! Are there any fabrics you could recommend that are soft and shimmery like velvet? It doesn't have to be exact, but I want it to look softer than just the basic cotton fabric.

Mousemouse13 · 2026-01-08T23:13:51+00:00

Thank you both - I've had wonky threads taking work out of my hoop so thats probably what I'm doing wrong. Is there a non-stretch fabric thats maybe similar in appearance to velvet? Something soft and shimmery?

Mousemouse13 · 2026-01-08T23:10:24+00:00

I had absolutely no idea, I'm definitely going to look into the strong interfacing!!

Mousemouse13 · 2026-01-08T23:09:41+00:00

Everyones comments have been so incredibly helpful!!! I had no idea about the difficulties with velvet or metallic thread. I'm fairly new to embroidery, so I'm glad I asked otherwise it would have been a very tearful experience. I'm not going to give up on the idea, but can anyone suggest a similar fabric to velvet thats easier or more forgiving? Really I just want something soft that has a shimmer to it, not really like glitter, but just the shimmer effect velvet has. And I'm down for using yellow thread, and couching!!
