I finished this Calavera embroidery project this past weekend!! It's one of Carina's embroidery patterns available at her site Polka and Bloom. I've been wanting to embroidery a t-shirt for a long time. I tried embroidering on a t-shirt in the past, and I can tell that it was a bit hard to control the stretchiness of the fabric.
Terminé este bordado de Calavera el fin de semana pasado!! Es un patrón de bordado de Carina en Polka & Bloom. Había querido bordar una camiseta desde hace mucho, lo intenté hace un tiempo pero me intimidó la elasticidad de la tela que lo hacía un poco difícil de controlar.
I was able to make other than back stitches; I used a bit of split stitch and the button hole stitch for the earings. The colors I picked out are different to the colors Carina used in her Calavera. I just used what I have available.
Pude hacer otras puntadas aparte del punto atrás; hice un poco de 'split stitch', y el punto de ojal para los aretes de la calavera. Los colores que escogí son diferentes a los que Carina usó en su calavera, usé los hilos que tenía disponible.
The pattern has lots of details, which gives the finished project a lovely texture too. Now that I know how it goes, I'll definitely embroider a couple more of t-shirts.
Este patrón tiene cantidad de detalles lo cual le da al proyecto terminado una textura hermosa. Ahora que ya sé como bordar en camisetas voy a tener que bordar un par más.
this is cool! hopefully the girls never get the shirt dirty!! too beautiful to ruin!

I was thinking the same when I had Ofelia try it on. I promise I'll pretend nothing happened when I find the first food stain ;)

Wow I love it! You must have so much patience! Well done, did you use any stabiliser on the back? I've done machine applique on t-shirts and stabiliser has really helped.

The button hole stitch earrings are my favourite part - it's beautiful
