Embroidered Jacket

Fiber & Textile Completed Projects
1

:grin: Bought a jacket from my coworker who likes to order online but does not check size charts. (Lucky me :smile: )
I liked the fit but the fabric was too plain and boring for me to actually wear it.
Soooo…One evening while watching movies I started to scribble on the jacket with a pencil.
At first it was just random scribbles…Just letting my so called creative juices flow :grin: But then it accidentally turned out quite good (at least for me)
So I decided to embroid(is this the right way to say it?Or embroider?) my scibbles permanently on the jacket.

I’m in love with the result :heart_eyes:

Awesome! What a great way to turn a non-unique jacket into a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art.
I like that you just went with your scribbles :slight_smile:

:smile: I have learned from my mistakes that whenever I have a new idea I should make it happen asap( and never doubt) or I will forget what I wanted to make and how I wanted to make it.

This is awesome! I have dreams of embroidering a jacket someday. You can rock your art wherever you go. Love it!

Thank you :grinning:
I’ll add an action shot tomorrow if I can find someone to take a picture. I live literally in the middle of a forest :grin:

That is a gorgeous one of a kind creation!

(I am jealous that you live in the middle of a forest.)

Thank you :grinning:

You could always move to a house in the forest :grin:
At times it’s quite magical living out here. I call it my ‘Introvert paradise’. Having no neighbours is wonderful :grinning:

I’m from The Netherlands and living in Belgium. There’s not much forest left over here and if you want to live in it, that is extremely expensive. But one could always dream.
I do creative writing, so it would be awesome.
