My Cooks Towel

Twelve months ago I got my embroidery machine

and  the software for digitizing . At the time I recieved it 

I gave it a good shot of learning the software BUT 

then I got a little sidetracked and  stopped using the 

soft ware for a while.

Now I have a goal of learning it completely  and being 

able to do anything I want . 

With the bag I put on my blog the other day  HERE

I learnt a lot while  making that pattern (and enjoyed it) 

and all I could think about was my next pattern and next one after 

that , so even though this week having Martyn for a visit because i 

don't sleep much I am in here at time when the two are both asleep.

So I gave a cook brick person a go at HAND digitizing ( not a 

fan of the button on the software that  does it for you (as it 

does not do a great job of over laps and tracing ))

Here is  the towel I made 

 I am soo amazed that with lots of planing in the designing

that the image only took 30 minutes to sew and it is 

way softer and neater than the ones that I was designing back 

twelve months ago

I am looking forward to hearing what you all think of this effort .

I am working on a few more  (OK a lot more) things 

that I will be showing  soon  (yes as well as I will be showing 

my pop ups I am working on too  I have not got sidetracked 

from Pop up card studio )

By the way  for those that don't know that Martyn is a 

Chef and I made this for him!
