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!

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......

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.

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!

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!!
