Hello there!
It is Monday!! Happy #NeedleworkMonday beautiful people!!
Has any of you tried embroidery on shoes before? I haven't but I am half thinking to try. One of my favourite pair of shoes, to my dismay, had brown water stains after I washed them, thinking that washing would be good for them. Boy, was I wrong! I should not have washed them, should have left them as they were, happy and dirty. Sigh....
So, after I washed them (I actually tried washing it 3 times! THREE TIMES!), hoping for a brown stain free result but each time, it looked like it got worse :( The only thing I can think of now is to sort of cover the stains with embroidery.
I have been trying to get some inspiration on what to embroider... @cryptocariad's post last week was quite an inspiration with her pretty bee and flower and leaves embroidery. And I have been flipping through a stitch book that has been in my shelf for the longest time to get some inspiration.
Hey, this is the chain stitch that @cryptocariad was talking about š (I just realised that my earlier embroidery work was really done quite simply š)
I haven't done anything yet, just staring at my unhappy shoe right now. Not really sure how to begin. Hope I will get some inspiration soon.
