Flowery Cowl

Kitchen Ninja can also embroider. except french knots. those suckers make me want to spit fire out of my eyeballs. . . Anyway, I made a cowl. for my mamma. She's into flowers, and being warm, so it was a natural choice.

The cowl is lined with deep plum jersey fleece, and the embroidery was done over the course of three days on a piece of linen. I then added big wooden buttons and called it Freakin' Fabulous.

I'll add the embroidery pattern to this post as a PDF as soon as I get a chance.

Kitchen Ninja Out.

christmas scarf!

guess which ninja finally dropped her camera one time too many!

that's right...this ninja. so my photos will be poor until i can talk myself into spending the money to replace it. i can literally pull the top off of the thing and hear stuff jingling around inside, so i can't avoid buying a new one anymore.

until then, here are the two photos of the scarf i made for fellow ninja megan for christmas: it's a long piece of jersey with a peacock feather embroidered at the end. simple, but i love it [and i hope she does, too].





i tried to draw my own peacock feather pattern, but was disappointed in everything i ended up with. urban thread's patterns were on sale, so i purchased this one. most of their simple patterns [all of which are adorable] are a dollar for the hand embroidery version. and, best of all, they keep stored the patterns you've purchased in the past so you can access them on the website with your sign in, instead of having to save them to your computer and hope you don't lose them.

*update with better photos from my new camera!*

foreshadowing:

i hate working with jersey. i've sewn...oh, three things now, in my entire life, and this - the fourth, which you'll see at a later date, i tried to do with jersey.

stupid jamie.
