This is what I have been up to all day........this is a coat I upcycled with embroidery work........I used my designs called Passion and Passion companion......they are in my floral section......anyway, I enlarged and shrunk and did all kinds of configurations with these designs.....I even put on on the lapel........can't believe this took me all day.....most time was spent on placement.........I forgot to mention that I did not use any stabilizer...woo hoo!

Very nice.

WOW, WOW, and WOW. Wonderful job...You have to be so very pleased with the results.. Congratulations and thank you for sharing..

Vicki-is there nothing you can't do--I mean, girl, you do it all and nicely I might add. This looks like the rain repellent coats. One day maybe I'll pull mine out and try something with it---Notice I said one day--haha!!

What a fantastic outcome! It looks like it would be very comfortable to wear, and the ME on it really adds a lot of interest to it. Love it!

Wow. I will be watching for you in the next issue of Vogue!

Fabulous!!/Lillian

This is what you wear over that little black dress. Gorgeous!

Wow, ! it would have taken me five days. Great job! Kay

This is a really stunning coat with the embroidery on it, love the designs and the colour is vibrant. Well done. Sandra.

Well done it looks great. I can understand why it took so long. I seem to spend more time thinking about designs and colours than the machine takes to sew it.

Well Vicki, you would certainly stand out in this outfit. Well done with placement etc. Love Chris

an excellent idea to upcycle a spring coat, I love it~hugs~

Lots of work done...Beautiful

Beautiful and the amount of time it took really shows as it is very intricate.

This kind of work would take me all month. My goodness this is really beautiful. How could it be done with out stabilizer??? Share please.

The type of material of the coat has a membrane on the inside which acted like a stabilizer, I did the same thing on the leather coat that I embroidered....I did not use stab on that either......

Very nice work Vicki this should sale at your up coming sale well hugs
