double chain stitch
This stitch follows the same technique as a simple chain stitch. The only difference between the two is that a double chain stitch is done over two parallel stitch lines, instead of one. Thus, in the end, the visual effect is that it looks more or less like an open feather stitch. To be able to do this stitch, it is good if you are aware of the chain stitch technique. I will be working on two straight parallel stitch lines, from bottom to top. All the stitch points will lie on the stitch line.

Alenn und Stefanus von Horn: Viking Coat
At hese Week I write in Facebook a little bit about my new Viking Coat.So its time to write here a bit about it,too.On Double Wars I decide that I need a new Coat after the Pattern of a Viking Kaftan .Some of the Ladies are wearing it there ,but I dont know if it gives Graves Founds for it anywhere . Sometime ago ,I found this Picture of this Pattern.I cut it, but without the Back Gore. I have so much Fabrics at Home ,so that I decide to take a violet Wool Blend .I sew it with the Machine and the Seams I made with Hand.I buy some Logwood Dyed Wool on the Viking Market in Jork .After the Sewing of the Seams I will make some "Embroidery" on the Coat.It will not be the real Embroidery ,while I will use a Handsewing Stich and not an Embroidery Stich. Also I finished the first of my Finnish Undergown.It was more a Test ,thats the Reason while I use a Cotton Blend in dark lilac.I love it a lot ,while I love the Pattern and its light to wear at this Temperatures.

This is the most beautiful felt project we’ve seen. Strips of felt are wrapped around each other with hot glue to create this amazing swirled effect. What a great project for a snowed-in weekend and a movie marathon with the family. The kids could even help cut strips and decide on color combination while you operate the hot glue gun.

Sweet Spring Sewing!Whatever your personal style is, we all "seam" to wear one thing in common: jeans. First, I would recommend jeans without the flatfell outside seam. Time and money saving tip: When you have completed an embroidery that leaves a small hole in the sticky stabilizer, you can patch the hole with a smaller piece of stabilizer instead of starting all over. Design tip: Don't be afraid to use colorful canvases.

It had to be done. The BBC has actually copyrighted the TARDIS design, which is one of those interesting copyright oddities since clearly this "design" was just borrowed from actual police boxes designed for the London PD.

Fearless Techniques for Embroidery on Jeans « Designsbysick.com Embroidery Articles
by Charlotte Gilmour Tired of paying high prices for embroidered jeans? Want to embroider on your own jeans? It’s easier than you may think. Note: Special items you will need in regards to embroidering on jeans pockets are: Jeans thread (a heavy duty thread made for use on jeans & denim) Either sticky stabilizer or a good textile spray adhesive to secure your jeans on top of regular stabilizer of choice. For jeans legs or pockets, you will need a fabric safe/will wash out marker. First, if your jeans are new, wash them normally to accommodate any necessary shrinkage. There are three ways to get stitched embellishment on your jeans: One way is of course the traditional hand methodAnother is to partially disassemble your jeans (not as hard as it sounds) orAnother option is to embroider either appliqué or patch type designs as separate componants or even FSL (Free Standing Lace) and stitch on manually or using a loose zigzag stitch (using thread in the same color as your FSL).
