Organ Embroidery Needles
what should i embroider (something cool) for a gift?
i just purchased some awesome ‘subversive’ embroidery patterns from “sublime stitching”… they are of vital organs (like the human heart, eyeballs, etc. there are even patterns for hypodermic needles and a uterus!), and i want to embroider something for my sister for a birthday gift. she is starting nursing school in the fall. i want to do something cool, but i can’t think of any ideas. can anyone help me brainstorm?? i don’t really want to do pillow-cases, napkins, or hankies. help! thank you!!! it has to be something cool, not “country home” or too old-fashioned. something hip. thanks again!
I jUST really need an idea of what to embroider the design ON TO. i ordered the patterns so i know what to embroider, i just don’t know what to embellish. for instance, NOT napkins or hankies… something else. ANY IDEAS? thanks!
How about a plain cotton bathrobe with a hood? You could embroider the heart near where her heart would be, the uterus near where it should be, the eyeball on both side edges of the hood, etc. Then, since the robe is so graphic, why not add a really cute ribbon, some lace, or something else shockingly girly to offset the anatomy designs? Since your sister is getting ready to start nursing school, I think a robe like this would be fun for her to show to her classmates. Also, the needle could be stitched either near the upper arm or on one side of the behind. The more I think about it, the more I think this could be really cool.
