Hello friends. Did you have a nice holiday? Me too. Time to share more projects!
Remember this little sneak peek?
This eye belongs to Princess McKittersons here, who I stitched on a shirt for my sister-in-law for Christmas. She loves animals, especially kitties.
The pattern was fun, but I'll think twice before stitching on a stretch cotton fabric ever again. It was a bit of a nightmare to keep the fabric taught (despite the use of a stabilizer) which made it difficult to pull the needle through and keep my stitches smooth.
You can see where one of her bottom whiskers got snagged. I tried everything except unpicking an entire section of stitching, which I didn't do because I was down to the last of that particular shade of thread. And it was Christmas Eve. So we'll just pretend that's a charming imperfection that gives this piece personality. A "happy accident" as Bob Ross would say.
Still, I think this turned out rather nicely, don't you?
