Perrin's Starling - Part 2

Embroidering the label for Perrin's Starling Handbag was a perfect craft night project.  That means I can do it *and* listen/talk at the same time.  I tried working on the blue knit lace scarf at craft night once and I ended up having to take out all three hours of work.  Gah!

I have an Embroidery On Felt Tutorial if you're wondering how I make my labels.  I forgot my trick of making sure the grain of the stabilizer goes top to bottom.  That makes it easier to remove since most of the letters have vertical bits.  Oh, well.

My Grandmother taught me to transfer embroidery designs in more or less the same way when I was a child the only real difference is we used a medium weight tissue paper, now I use water-soluble vilene, once you have finished embroidering you just spray with cold water and wipe with a cloth, so much easier than the tear-away type stabilizers, if you want to give it a go, you should be able to find it at any good machine embroidery supplier.

This is awesome. I gotta try it. I'm not that great at embroidering though, so it will take a few tries i'm sure. How big is the whole tag when finished?

michelle ... It'll get cut down to the box you see there, which is 2 inches square.

I have a bit of embroidery I'm going to be doing this weekend. I'll have to keep in mind how easy it is to embroider on felt (relatively speaking).
