One of our Men Cuties posted a picture of a beautiful bag with a peacock on it. I love peacocks, so I bought the design. I am working on a purse for the design, but in the meantime, I decided to put the design on a couple of shirts. Of course its impossible to find Ladies White Shirts this time of year, so I bought two Men's Shirts and feminized them by straightening out the bottom and adding the peacock design. The front design is part of the Peacock design, I just flipped it.
The black shirt is all done in grey and white tones, sorry the picture doesn't show the detail. I like oversize shirts to wear as a jacket...helps to cover up the excess weight...lol
Hugs Jerri

lovely bird--I am partial to anything turquoise. Very creative to use part of the design to put your monogram. Pretty! Pretty!

These are absolutely gorgeous Jerri. I love Peacocks but Mum shies away from them as she says they are bad luck. I, on the other hand am not superstitious at all and so love them. Whilst we were in Italy (this time last year actually) we went to a gorgeous formal garden and white ones were roaming throughout the garden. They are magnificent birds and well done on your shirts, they will be a real talking point. Love and blessings Chris

Thank you Chris: I actually had a real stuffed one years ago. Long story, but it had been poisoned by a neighbour of a friend of mine. He did Taxidermy as a hobby so he did it for me. He had another one that he had done in his entrance hall. It was unbelievable to see when you entered their home. He raised peacocks and when this one died, he stuffed it and put it on a branch. I will put a picture of what it sort of looked like. He had all the tail feathers fanned about 5ft across. They had a very large home and it was enclosed in a glass case. It was so beautiful.

I bought this design too - but I have to say, the colors of your stitch-outs are stunning. I can't wait to give it a try.

Thank you Susan: I wish I had a better camera to take pictures with. These just don't do the design justice, but you get the idea.

Chris: This is sort of what the stuffed Peacock looked like on my friends wall. This design is from Secrets of Embroidery.

Thank you. I just took part of the peacock design and rotated it. I used a variegated thread for this design.

I love peacocks and I love your shirts. I don't remember seeing this one. Do you remember which site on Secrets Of? I have been searching for some of the $1. designs. It is too time consuming.

I am sorry, I am not sure which design you are wanting. The designs on the shirts came from Embroidery library, I added the link below. It is on page 10 of under Peacocks. Its called Peacock flourish #2318.
the one from Secrets of embroidery is on:
http://www.secretsof.com/machine-embroidery-designs/search/peacocks
It is called Jacobean Peacock. If you put Peacock in the search box it will show up. Its on the bottom left corner,when I searched for it. This one is expensive.

Great! I have the one from Embroidery Library, but a smaller size. You must have a larger hoop than I have. I have forgotten which machine you have. Now I will look for the one from Secrets Of. Thank you so much for telling me. Kay
Hi Kay: I have an Elna 8300 xperience, with 5x7 hoop. I don't have the design from Secrets of, I was just showing Chris the picture for my comment to her about an old friend that raised Peacocks. Sorry, I didn't mean to imply I did the embroidery.

I absolutely love your peacocks and your idea about wearing a shirt as a jacket. I'm almost always too warm anyway, so need nothing more than long sleeves, so do the same thing. You did a beautiful job with your peacocks!

Thank you. Shirts are a great coverup. I cut the sleeves off as well.

Thank you so much. The one on black turned out really nice, the picture just doesn't show the detail nicely.
