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!*

  2. thanks, tammia! it was so easy, too. sew together two pieces of jersey, embroider the feather.

    the hardest part was picking off all the stabilizer i used to hold the pattern.
