“S” is for Skeleton
October 21st, 2009
This was one of my BIG projects for the Halloween season….a re-purposed coat that i went completely insane on! I embroidered six large, happy skeletons all the way around the bottom and gave them vintage mother-of-pearl eyes I stitched on lots of lace that i tea dyed with Earl Grey for accents at the waist and cuffs. Finally, i sewed on a cute little vintage heart shaped doilie on the breast pocket, and a tea-dyed lace rosette with a vintage button in the center on the collar. Really happy with the end result….really sad that it’s too small for me and needs to find a home with a smaller skeleton than mine!
Hoping everyone is well and wonderful today!
