X-Stitch Monday

[kikotei]

So, the mostly-super-secret-experimental project is DONE. Mostly. Enough that I'm gonna post it. ^_~ I have a little patch work to do. The sewing machine is still in the shop, so I picked up a cheapo handheld stitchy thing. It's okay, but not easy to use and hard to control.

Anyway, the experimental portion of this project was using waste canvas on non-evenweave material. In this case a mini messenger bag. Waste canvas is just barely held together with water soluble glue. So a pair of tweezers and a whole lot of patience to pick the canvas apart and out of the design and tada!

This is a day by day thing, so it is a bit picture heavy.

But enough of that... on to Nightwing!



Day 1. Waste canvas tacked on after discovering I would have to take the bag apart. Damn sergered seams.



Day 2



Day 3



Day 4



Day 5. Cue freak out. It's hard to tell in this photo, but the second skein of thread was discolored. So the center under the head and everything to the right is slightly off color.



Day 6a. DONE. Now to pick all the canvas apart, thread by thread.



Day 6b. All cleaned up! Holy crap, that electric blue is very very bright.



Day 7. On my new dummy. I need to restitch the bag when my normal sewing machine is back, but this will do for now.
