Spacerific

Space bedding
The future keeps creeping up on me at the moment, so I thought I'd share these two future based ladies. I embroidered them onto pillowcases using this most excellent Sublime Stitching pattern (purchased as part of this expedition), and embroidery thread from a box of scraps which belonged to my Grandmother. I believe the stitch is called split-stitch- I followed the instructions here...

Unfortunately their rocket packs were not quite powerful enough to carry them across the Atlantic, so I had to resort to Royal Mail to get them to their destination in LA

In other news- I've been boinged! They linked to Craftster, not here, but I nonetheless felt I ought to spruce up my sci-fi crafting credentials...

Well, look at them all ready to go! Fabulous embroideries. I've always wanted to embroider pinups on a pillowcase or something, but have no patience for it - yours are great!

They're awesome! I've just been reading about Space Craft: apparently NASA and Etsy are having a contest involving space-themed craft. Sounds like fun.

Aren't they great transfers! I recently embroided a cushion using the same set and next on the list is a set of pillow slips as you have.
