Embroidery on the back of a Denim Jacket. The design is from Hatched in Africa and was done in 4 hoopings with 25 colors of thread.

Wow! This is really special! I took care of a flock? of peacocks for 15 years. Beautiful bird, now a beautiful shirt!

Oh, I love it! You did a beautiful job and I know it was a lot of work, but look at what you ended up with...a special treasure. I am always scared of trying more than one hooping.

It was a challenge but I'm happy with the way it turned out. Thanks for your nice comments.

Wow stunning. How hard was it to embroider over the back yolk seam?

My machine 'senses' the thickness of the material and did OK when it was moving down but kept getting stuck in the thick seam when it was going back up. I finally put 2 layers of water soluble stabilizer on top of the design so the foot would go up over the yoke. Of course, that problem appeared in the 4th (last) hooping and I wasn't about to start over.

Beautiful work. I have the same design that I have had for a long time. I keep looking at it but never got the courage to try it. Maybe now I will. Thanks for sharing.

I bought the jacket at a thrift store for $3 in case I messed up! Good luck on yours.

the design is actualy from Hatched in Africa if some one want to go search. They also have a fantacy bird in the same style. Your jacket is so pretty.
