#Did this is Sewnet but I'm tagging that in case anyone wants to see the whole nightmare

Me, last week: Since my embroidery machine is in the shop, I should design more Cricut stuff, since I can't embroider anything for a minimum of another week.

Me, today:

iSo I made this bag design to go with the dress....If anyone has an embroidery machine with an 8x10 hoop or larger, and who wants to try this out, let me know. It needs a bit of optimization to actually stitch out efficiently but it's only like 20 minutes of work away from being ready for someone to try it out. You would also need to figure out how to, once you have all this, turn it into a bag.

Details: I'd start by hooping a double of black tear-away or maybe some heavy freaking soluble, use that black vinyl (remnant that I got a couple of months ago and never used) as the applique fabric, and then do the clock's border in an actual metallic thread so that it (hopefully) stays cool and textured when you rip the tear-away out. The hands are going to take an exacto to cut the insides with. Once the pieces are embroidered, I'd rivet the hands to the center of the bag and then stick a tailor's tack near the end of each to stop them from flopping. Then the whole embroidered piece can just be glued onto whatever I feel like making the bag out of.

But yeah, tell me what format you need and I'll do my best to save it in that format and send it out.

While we're at it, if anyone wants the other files from the rest of the project (clocks, ship, seagulls, etc), hit me up.
