This week I finished the second vintage camera embroidery in a planned series of three. See number one here.
To make, trace the image below onto fabric with a water soluble marker using a lightbox or sunny window. I choose a natural looking nubby muslin for my fabric.
Stitch the design with black embroidery thread using a backstitch.
I alternated thicker lines using six threads and thinner lines with two threads to provide some contrast.
When finished frame for hanging or hang in embroidery hoop. Or maybe attach fabric to the front of a photo album...

Darnit, now I'm going to have to learn to do embroidery again! I can remember doing it as a kid so it shouldn't be too hard to pick it up again...right?
Anyhoo...these designs are so cool and retro that I WILL be putting them up in my house for sure! Can't wait to check out more of what you've done! Super cute!
Bet there are a lot of photographers who'd love to have this!
