There will be TEXT, something that I have mostly avoided. A while back Heather generously shared her methods for getting really crisp, readable embroidered text.
I will have a practice run before I screw this up.
Of course I altered the design a bit, never one to leave well enough alone. Having that star dead center bothered me some. It fell too much like a target.
The background for this was a commercial print that I pickup up recently at JoAnns. I overdyed it and I'm thinking of going back for a yard or two. It's in keeping with the chambray of the shirts, just the right weight and the grid helps me with positioning.
One of the things I love most about dyeing my own cloth is serendipity of the results.

Love the title of this .. and love the stitching you have done here. The dyed fabric colors are delicious!! SO glad I popped over here from Magic Diaries. Be well. :)
So, what color was the fabric originally, and what color did you over-dye it? And what kind of dye did you use?? I love your design!!!! I'm still working on a design for the center of my piece for Magic Diaries. I'll have to hunt and find my camera so I can take a couple of pictures.
