Work in progress. It鈥檒l be a gas station style shirt with Frank on one brest and the Bride on the other. The final shirt is charcoal gray. I鈥檓 breaking needles and missing stitches but at least I鈥檓 going through a lot of thread too. Frank is in gray and purple (the Bride will be too) because those were our wedding colors. Yeah, we鈥檙e that weird family that overdoes Halloween.
Looks great! I鈥檝e been thinking about learning how to do this since my library has embroidery machines in its maker space.
Very nice! I like the texture on his jacket, it鈥檚 very houndstoothy.
What software are you using to digitize the art for the machine? I鈥檝e been curious about using my library鈥檚 machine as well, but I鈥檓 not really sure which software is worth spending time learning.
Thanks! This is my first attempt at different stitch styles and angles.
Inkscape with the Ink-stitch extension. Mostly because it鈥檚 the one I can afford. There鈥檚 a learning curve but I was already learning it for my vinyl cutter designs and rpg maps.
Cool!!
Neat!
My husband found similar concept shirts at an artisan co-op in New Orleans. The shirts were 70s/80s vintage western style with snap closures. One had embroidered bigfoots inside the pointy areas in the shoulders and the other had skulls in sombreros. They鈥檙e my favorite shirts of his.
