From the spiky, reptilian scales of a dragon to the feathery wings of a phoenix, animals have always been a popular choice for tattoos. But there’s more to them than just a pretty design. A unique animal tattoo can be a great way to commemorate a beloved pet or even symbolize something deeper about yourself. Whether you want to get inked with a creature that represents strength and power, like a tiger or a horse, or independence and freedom, like a butterfly or an eagle, there’s one for everyone!

It's All In The Details We can make a million basic t-shirts, and in the end, that's all they will be. Utilitarian, but with no spark, unless a detail is added. Every garment would be just a basic garment if it weren't for that special little detail that catches the eye. Spider web stitching and artfully placed cut outs add interest to a basic black dress. This is an antique garment that I just had to include as I thought it was just so beautiful. I love the frayed seams and the patchwork detail on this jacket. This technique can be found in the book Pattern Magic 2 by Tomoko Nakamichi along with many other fabulous detail ideas. A lovely idea, but be careful. Notice the gap in the cut of the neckline. If the tab is not positioned correctly, the neckline will not not lay flat. Another fun cut out idea for the back of a shirt. Bias strips with peek a boo openings. Neither of these pockets are especially practical, but interesting nonetheless. At first glance you might think this is Alabama Chanin, but no. The embroidery is satin stitched and there's a separate under layer. Just a hint of this on a shoulder of would lovely. A very basic top made interesting with the addition of a chiffon inset, button loops and buttons. A basic raglan sleeved top accented with zippers. It looks as though the zipper goes from the front to the back. Since this is from St, Laurent, I would imagine that the top is cashmere, so not so basic ;) The back of a basic jacket given a special touch with the smocking detail. It wouldn't need to be this detailed, just a touch would be nice. I would not put this on a pair of shorts, but I love the idea of a leather overlay on a skirt. There would be no room for weight gain!!! I have no idea how this was done, but I love it. It must be a photo transfer of some sort. If anyone knows, please tell me!!! I would love to do this. Another accented edge from a vintage Chanel coat. Lovely. Isn't this fun! Car wash strips over an ultra feminine full skirt. Might be fun to have a solid front and this detail only in the back. I would be remiss to not include a piece from Alabama Chanin. This piece caught my eye as I love the mix. The skirt is relatively simple to do. Gathered strips that are beaded down the center. The detail on the skirt is the same as what I did on my French jacket. Another detail from my closet. The jacket is in desperate need of a good steaming, please forgive me. The jacket pattern was cut into sections and each section piped. The sections were then stitched back together and accented with beads. I plan to wear this soon, so it will be in an upcoming Me Made Monday post with more pictures. Hope this gives you a little detail inspiration. Have a lovely week! Rhonda
Just popping in to say a big thank you for the nice comments you left last time and also for visiting my new Etsy shop. My shop shelves were a little empty by yesterday morning so I've been busy again. Here are two more pencil cases with applique and a profusion of freestyle machine embroidery. These designs were great fun to create. I'm a constant doodler with pencil and paper and this type of embroidery is very like doodling with stitches which is why I love it. My 'work-space' is littered with doodles like the ones below. Little dollies with happy smiling faces are scattered on all available surfaces. Yesterday I looked through hundreds of pages of 'scribble' and reintroduced myself to some of the little characters that had popped off my pencil over the years. When I came across this little cutie I knew she'd be just right for one of my freestyle garden scenes. Most sensible people would plan what they were going to do before they started stitching but I tend to launch myself into a project and wait for something to appear. The stitched outline came first of course. Next I had to choose the fabric for the little wristlet bag I planned to make. My Moda jelly roll 'Tropicana Batik' contains sumptuous colours which I knew would be perfect for the flowers and butterflies. So out came the dyes and paints and the little scene was tinted in colours to match the fabric. When fully dry it was time to make the bag. The jewel-like shades of the batik combine really well together and are always a joy to use. This is the back of the bag. So now with a little more stock in my Flutterby Stitch shop I have some clearing up to do before I begin another project. I have a few ideas but I'd better leave that until next time. As always, thank you for popping in.
