Totally Satisfied

I got a custom order recently, two reversible passport cases. The prints and embroidery design were chosen very quickly. The only thing I was worried about was the question how to transfer fine-detailed drawing onto the fabric. Then I remembered I ordered lots of sewing and embroidery supplies from a wholesaler. My order is arrived on Thursday and I couldn't wait to get my hands on this:

Totally Stable, it's an easy-tear, iron-on embroidery webbing. I drew, then ironed the webbing on fabric.

And then started to embroider. It was super easy, the webbing stayed on fabric despite the fact that I skipped sewing-the-webbing-on-fabric step. I was able to stitch every fine detail of my design. Not really bad, huh? I can't imagine how I'd transfer them with another method.

I was pretty excited about the next step - tear away. I found out that a tapestry needle works best when it comes to tear tiny wee webbing pieces. Patience is very helpful as well ;)

Finished work.

I'm totally satisfied with the result. I even might list the webbing on my Etsy, let's see. I'm just back from the post office, let my cases go to Karlsruhe. Hopefully my customer likes them :)

Have a great weekend!

Thank you, Penny! However, it's pretty meditative to sit, have a nice cup of tea and stitch AND forget the world.
