Show & Tell - Duck, Duck, Robot

Look what Rebecca made for her son! So cute, no? Want to see it a little closer?

I love stitching on clothing. You can only hang so many hoops on the wall - but I can have a seemingly unlimited supply of stitched T-shirts. :-)

In case anyone else wants to do the same, Rebecca was kind enough to offer some details about size and # of threads used. . .

Here's my duck duck robot. Since I had to reduce it to 60% size to fit it onto my 1 year old's onesie, I used 3 threads for all the outlines and 2 for the flowers. It's all a bit crooked because I forgot to iron the dissolve away on, but I'm just chuffed that I can totally do something like this. And my boy won't mind a bit. :)

Terrific job!

If you're confused about the stabilizer she mentioned, watch this video. It explains why you needs to stabilize stretchy fabrics before stitching and shows you the product I used to use for that. Since discovering The Magical Embroidery Stuff I've started using it instead. It serves the same purpose but it's even easier to use (No Tracing! No ironing! No bits left on the back when you're done!). :-) And you can find the Duck, Duck, Robot embroidery pattern here.

Happy stitching!
