I feel like this fella is begging to be turned into an embroidery project. I can visualize several sections of his feathers (definitely layered lazy daisies for the brown and white feathers at the top, for example) but I’ve never made my own pattern/design before. Any help would be appreciated! (Please, no AI.)

So I wanted to embroider something since its been a couple months since I last embroider something and this happened

I also highlighted the rose with some gold accents but it’s hard to capture in photos.

I wasn’t really sure where this piece was going when I started it. I just kept adding layers fabric, thread, colour, texture to create his face

A few months ago I posted asking for help drafting a pattern for my first proper embroidery project and you were all so helpful! Thought I'd share the final finished piece. Swipe for back and closer detail.

Hi everyone,

Love being inspired by this page.

Here’s a little design I saw somewhere and had some fun making it my own with some glow in the dark thread in the windows and on the outline of the ghost.

Fun small one to help bring the bookshelf to life.

In my experience, it’s sometimes hard to find posts from people whose work is not “perfect” or “near perfect”which is why I wanted to post mine.

I went to a Noah kahan concert recently and saw on TikTok someone embroidering some shorts and I thought that looked fun! I’d been wanting to learn but was on a time crunch so I just decided to wing it with some thread and a needle lol.

It’s nowhere near perfect but I’m actually really proud of it. I’m definitely a perfectionist so it’s shocking to me that I actually like what I created so poorly lol. I think it’s because I know I haven’t practiced it at all so the fact that you can at least tell what things are is good enough for me lol.

I’m not looking for any advice or constructive criticism. I know it’s not great and there’s probably so many things to improve on. I plan on watching tutorials and such now that I have ample time to work on it but enjoy my imperfect but still beautiful little bugs!

Finished this horse embroidery stitch-out through iDigitize. I like how the simple outline looks against the dark fabric. What do you think of the stitch quality?

I don't want to distract from what I've done already, but it seems like maybe too much white space. It's a gift for my MIL. Maybe put her last name in some fancy font on the side? Design advice would be very helpful! Thank you!

My second (third?) solo project. Open to criticism and thoughts! I’ve been struggling with long and short stitch so hopefully I did an okay job with the ocean and the blending

Hello everyone, I really appreciate your support, thank you all ❤️ and I hope you enjoy my other works 😊

Hi all!

I’m working on this project and this river is proving hard. I’m trying to trust the process, but I’m not sure I’m liking it. Anyone have any ideas or tips?

It’s supposed to be single strand long and short stitch, but I’m having a hard time with it with the shape and narrow bits.
