Chicken Scratch Embroidery Introduction

A short video explaining Chicken Scratch

Depression Lace

It's taking a very long time to embroider this skirt, so I don't think I will be making a lot of these.

But still I feel like it will look extra special in my wardrobe when it's finished :)

Boo Y'all

My Chicken Scratch Embroidered dress is coming along quite nicely.

I'm sewing a border of bats adapted from this design by Cottage Nest

Trying out Chicken Scratch Embroidery for the first time

Pretty happy with it, I need to take a bit more care with the fabric tension though.

Chicken Scratch Embroidery

Found on Pinterest

My next sewing project is going to involve Chicken Scratch embroidery. I found chicken scratch a while back on pinterest and was pretty fascinated by it.

It's a type of cross stitch based embroidery done onto gingham fabric, using the squares as both a size guide and a design feature, and I think it's really pretty.

I found a few nifty Halloween chicken scratch patterns on Etsy and I thought it would be super cool to get one and try it out around the bottom of a skirt!
