The Only Alien In School - Free Embroidery Pattern
SO I made this for Ralph in a recent Craftster Swap
It's a patch inspired by the Robert Rodriguez move The Faculty.
Here it is on the hoop:
I used applique for the alien, satin stitch for the spots and the letters and backstitch for the outlining. I used 3 stands of floss for the satin stitch in the letters but I wish I'd only used 2. I think I used 2 everywhere else...
And here's the pattern:
The Alien is adapted from this image:
so obviously... that belongs to them...
As always, use my pattern as much as you like, just don't use it to make money, don't sell it in your etsy shop, don't pretend it's yours. and PLEASE let me know if you use it.. I wanna see!!!

My Ass Rocks! (Pt 1 embroidery)
Check it out!!
ICK! I don't like it that close up it's a bit unforgiving!

Guys, it's the 21st century! we don't have to spend loads of money on embroidery patterns! google images has a feature now where can specify exactly what kind of picture you want:
and there you go - line drawing = embroidery pattern, job done. Save it, pop it in word, add a text box, add some cheeky text, Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your aunt!
On the Internet there's loads of different ways to transfer embroidery patterns. I chose to use carbon paper because I happened to have some lying around after I failed to use it to transfer sewing patterns in the early days. (Just goes to show NEVER THROW ANYTHING AWAY!!)
As you can see, nice and light, but sharp enough to see what you're doing, awesome!
In case you care I'm just using muslin as a base and when I'm stitching I'll be using backstitch because I don't know ANYTHING about embroidery at all!
Ok so that's the hard part, it took me about 3 nights (3 school nights) to sew this, it's about 3.5x6 inches... something like that.... not big....
In the next installment: how to make you kickass embroidery into a patch for your jeans or jacket... but you still wont be as cool as this guy:
see you soon!!
