Shadow Embroidery on a Sunsuit

This is my latest project.

Making a sunsuit for Lilly.

I wanted to have some embroidery fun!

I used a white cotton pima Pique fabric for the Yoke, and added a cute little girlie chick!

I also used an underlining from a pima batiste so the embroidery would show up better. 

The design came from my Jeannie B Embroidery Book.

I used Floche for the thread and stitched the Chick using Shadow Embroidery.  The legs and beak are a stranded floss.  All else is Floche. 

This is the old, old pattern I used....from when my own grown children were little.

The fabric for the Sunsuit is yellow Seersucker.

Very summery.

I stitched white  rick rack on the shoulder straps to make it just that much cuter!!

I am sitting here in South Louisiana hoping both Hurricanes that are heading toward our coast....somehow miss me!!

Stay safe out in that crazy world :)

For the wicked boasts of his hearts desire, 

And the greedy man curses and spurns the Lord.

The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, 

All his thoughts are, "There is no God"

Psalm10:3,4
