Using Embroidery to Personalize My Apron

I really like the way that my tie dyed apron came out. It looks like a soft blue and white mottled pattern. I want to be able to leave it at the studio when I am working on the pottery wheel, so I decided to embroider a J on the front.

I had to decide what color thread to use, but I ultimately decided to go with the black embroidery thread since the Viking label was black.

I skipped a step and did not place any stay stitch underneath the apron because I could not easily put my hands on it. I noticed of course that if I had not skipped that step, then it would have eliminated that puckered look.

It’s been so long since I embroidered that I am surprised that I was able to remember any stitches.

There are so many ladies in the needleworkmonday community that can really embroider beautiful designs on purses, clothing and tablecloths that they are probably frowning at my modest attempt to scribble on a J. 😆

Oh well. I will have to stay in my lane since this skill is obviously not my forte.

Enjoy your day.
