Coat Hanger Cover

After years of thinking that coat hangers covers were silly. I saw somewhere a very pretty embroidered cover. And well, lets just say that I'm singing a different tune now.
I have wanted to use this Sublime Stitching design for some time now and thought that it would be prefect for this project!


The coat hanger cover it all it's glory
I've become enslaved in the need to fill in all the empty spaces. 
I actually enjoy satin stitches, they aren't hard and they look pretty. They just take a lot of floss.


Even though you really can't see the hair, I was proud of myself, it was the first time that I really tried a satin stitch.

Kick Ass Book!


I know the the seasoned hand embroiders think this book is a little too beginner. But that's perfect for me!! I AM a beginner! I LOVE this book. I saw it on Amazon and put it on my Wish List. And lucky for me, my sister saw it there and bought it for me for christmas. She rocks!

I've done a couple of little projects so far. I work with a lot of felt shapes, so I have loads of stencils that I have made over the years, and they are perfect for embroidery.


I had a lot of fun whipping this little puppy up. I currently working on more projects that I do want to put up on my Etsy shop along with this one.
Can't wait!
