Another Vintage Design...by ME!

I finished digitizing another vintage embroidery. I really love this one. It took me about 3 hours to do, but I am totally happy with it! I embroidered it on a nice kitchen towel. I am enjoying Embird so much. Next I have to learn how to do filled and applique designs.

 

My Mom, the kids, and I had a table at a flea market today. We sold quite a bit and I bought a small bag of vintage baby clothes. I'll be back to share them with you after they get their Biz treatment.

I Digitized a Vintage Baby

The other night, my baby went to sleep early and I spent a little time on my laptop digitizing this baby.

Overall, I think it turned out well. I am unhappy with the eyes and the hands. The original picture I was using had a row of children and this little boy was holding a big sister's hand, so his hands are supposed to show the knuckles curled around another hand or his bear. I also think the skin color is too light and friends have commented that the hair is too sparse- sort of Charlie Brown baby!
Anyway, I am learning a lot and having tons of fun. I'm trying to pick a kitchen type vintage design for my next attempt.
Meanwhile, I am testing Ellie Inspired's Dapper Lad vest pattern this weekend. I am planning to make Davy's size in fabric to match the vintage romper I've been working on for Andy. The pattern looks really cute! I am hoping to have a nice chunk of time to get some sewing done this weekend.

My First Digitizing!

Hubby bought me the digitizing module for Embird for our anniversary yesterday. I took my laptop upstairs after the kids went to bed and ran through a redwork tutorial. Then I spent about 30 minutes digitizing this simple elephant by myself! I think it turned out great for my first try and I already learned a lot! What do you think?
