Machine Embroidery: Urban Threads – Steampunk Phoenix

My daughter loves Steampunk!

Yesterday, I machine embroidered the design you see below. My daughter chose this design. I wanted to add brighter colors, but my daughter requested that I use muted “earthy” colors. This is my interpretation.

This machine embroidered design was 44,845 stitches, it took almost three hours to create. The good news is my daughter really loves how this turned out (and so do I).  Of course I’ll be making this design again; however, I will be using more bold colors.This is not my design. I ordered it from Urban Threads.  If I’d designed this, the process would have take much longer than three hours.

This is going to be bag… a lunch bag if you want to be specific. Of course, this bag will have a liner. All my bags do (and that includes what I knit or crochet).  After all, liner adds stability. This should be complete by Wednesday. You wan to know something? This would have already been completed, if I had not decided to embroider another design onto this project.
