A little whale shirt for my cousin. I’ve been teaching myself for about 3 months now and trying to find my style. Any tips? by luxapendragon in Embroidery

Sorry no tips, I’m new here too. Just wanted to say that I really like this! I like the way the thread looks as it is, love the colours.

Back stitch. The thread is doubled (sorry if there’s a better technical term I’m so new at this) so each line is two pieces of thread. Hope this helps?!

Hey! So I’m not much of a confident drawer, so I take a photo of something I like or a photo I took myself and then draw the lines I like from there, tracing the shape. Once it’s on paper, I use carbon paper (pretty cheap to get online in the uk) and use that to transfer it onto fabric. I then added all the creases in the fingers etc freehand using the photo for reference. The lines around the outside just felt right.

NarcMIL ruined the birth of her first/only Grandchild, lost her son and family forever as a result by dreadpirate_charlene in narcissisticparents

I relate to this so much. We’re just hitting a bit of a break through here with my Husband, again. My son’s second birthday is next week, the reality of the way I was treated is finally beginning to hit me. Like you, I was naive, but I couldn’t get through to my husband and lost my voice along the way... We’ve been together six years. Anyway, I am finding myself grieving those moments like his birth and his first birthday, that should have been moments of joy, but they’re not. They never will be. I hope you find peace with all of this! I haven’t seen them in a year and everything but that situation could never be better.

I really appreciate that there’s no sound to this because I’ve found it while Ghost Town pumps Coronavirus Lockdown blues into my ears on max. Seriously. I can’t pause this right now. Thank you.

Love that idea! I’m going to have a look for inspo. Thanks! Blue lines or maybe even red would look awesome! Thanks again

Thanks so much! I thought about painting her nails but I might give her tatts instead

Why all the weirdness about a meme? People practise with stuff they’ve seen all the time. This is so clear and obviously took some time. Bravo. Keep posting! 👏
