Embroidery Machines are Addicting


I love being able to so quickly make a beautiful gift. This is a bag I embroidered for a former nanny charge of mine on the occasion of her birthday. Since she is a dedicated ballet student, I found this design on Urban Threads. It was a bit fussy to get the color gradients correct since I stitched it in purple rather than pink, but well worth it!


I wanted a bit more sparkle, so I sewed some beads along the skirt hem. Simple, but very effective and classy!

If you've got $300 laying around and are at all interested in getting into machine embroidery, go check out the Brother SE400. It's beautiful.
