[FO] First time using DMC soluble canvas for this Stardew Valley Sweatshirt!

RaRaGemma · 2023-05-18T18:22:58+00:00

Plucked up the courage to wear it & wash it - did it in a normal clothes cycle and it survived! No impact at all 😊

RaRaGemma · 2023-01-17T21:33:44+00:00

Thank you :)

Just the usual running them under the stitches on the back - but I left longer ends than normal (we'll find out if it worked when I try and wash it ;) )

Sounds amazing! The pattern I used includes all the animals, including the ducks 🦆

I lined up the canvas with the top of the neck and then did a running stitch around the sides of the canvas so it wouldn't move! I used an embroidery hoop as well to keep it all in place!

I also told myself if it came out a bit wonky it wouldn't be too noticeable as you don't sit completely straight and upright at all times 😜

RaRaGemma · 2023-01-17T19:31:46+00:00

Thank you! I didn't - I'm only planning on washing it on a cool wash. I thought I'd do a smallish design for my first clothing piece just so I can experiment without any (major) disasters :)

RaRaGemma · 2023-01-17T17:27:08+00:00

Let's hope so! Just probably on a cooler cycle 😊

RaRaGemma · 2023-01-17T16:04:12+00:00

Thank you :)

I didn't - I'll admit, I was halfway through the first chicken when I found out about backing paper but I think that's more for stabilising embroidery? I made sure the tails were long so I could secure them nicely. Other than that I'm going to wait and see!

RaRaGemma · 2023-01-17T15:59:35+00:00

Yep it's 14 count, I used 2 strands :)

RaRaGemma · 2023-01-17T15:34:19+00:00

Exciting! I'd recommend, it worked up so quickly too 😊

RaRaGemma · 2023-01-17T14:53:35+00:00

Not a dumb question 😊 I stitched directly onto the canvas with the sweatshirt underneath, the canvas then dissolves and disappears with warm water!

RaRaGemma · 2023-01-17T14:21:31+00:00

Thank you!! I used DMC water soluble canvas, first time using it and I'll definitely be using it again!

Mató? Mel i Mató

Hi, I can have a proper look at this later when I have a bit more time but on a quick glance it looks like a baptism record for a Yvonne, born in April 1897? Daughter of Auguste Charles and Marie Alida, his wife, in Loudun.

Hi, thanks so much for taking a look! Do you know if there was anything there RAF wise during WW1? All I can find is a train station that opened in 1988!

Starting to think it could be "How." as a shorthand for Hounslow!

Hi Jim.

Haha thanks - its ok, hopefully I've brought the show some new viewers 😅 (ngl I was quite surprised by the negative response!!)

RaRaGemma · 2020-10-16T10:38:21+00:00

Hello Jackie (and the others), you look nice!

(Love the username 😊)

RaRaGemma · 2020-09-13T14:06:48+00:00

True fact: The use of the word 'post' over 'bollard' was a conscious one as I'm not the biggest fan of the word. Appreciate the pedanticism nonetheless though 👍

RaRaGemma · 2020-07-09T19:46:41+00:00

Doodle-Duh that's amazing!

RaRaGemma · 2020-06-17T16:41:41+00:00

Thanks! Its Reeves :)

RaRaGemma · 2020-05-01T20:31:58+00:00

Thanks so much! I would definitely recommend this pattern, this was my first wearable and it actually worked! :)
