Crafted gifts





Guess who found her camera cord? So I'm thrilled to post some hand-crafted gifts. I love the sweatshirt embroidery - the fan dancer is on the back. Front is all freestyle stitching, obviously since the sides don't really match. There is a little more orange accent around the hood, but I forgot to take pictures :)



I'm really proud that I sewed the fan dancer backwards - the pattern wouldn't show up on the back so I ironed it on the inside and stitched from the reverse side. Plus, the sweatshirt was on clearance at Old Navy for $3.50.

Nice color choices! And good free-styling!!!

As I recall, the pattern barely showed on the inside, so that's almost freestyle as well. It turned out great!

I love the free-styling front! I think I may have to go embellish some sweatshirts now.

Wicked cool. I want a sweatshirt like that too. I love the squiggles up the front.
