I can't stitch today (bad day, lack of sleep and a headache) so I decided to take the time to update my Batgirl progress.

I fall more in love with this pattern as I go! However my pattern is covered in pen marks from all the adjustments I've made. I may have to update the pattern when I'm done.

But I need some help. Batgirls's utility belt is barely visible. You can actually see it better in the pic then in real life.

I'm thinking I should find a darker "mustard" colour to outline just the belt in (the pale yellow is dmc 3823 & the mustard yellow is dmc 676). Any ideas to help me out?

BTW the bat symbol glows in the dark.

I know it isn't how the original picture is, but I would actually fill the area in with the yellow to get it to stand out more. I always find it difficult for yellow to show against pink.

After looking at my work again I think your solution may be best. The bat symbol is in glow floss so I'll look for a similar colour in regular dmc floss & try that (I'm trying to keep the colours simplified for the look I'd like at the end). I think that shade of yellow will be bright enough to stand out.

I can't believe how fast I'm stitching. I hope I can finish this before Monday though because I go back to work full-time and I have Christmas presents to stitch so no time for Batgirl

Looking good! Good luck with your deadline! I'm still racing to finish Halloween costumes in time... lol

Now to wash, iron & frame her. I don't know if I can do it.

She's so cute! The belt looks good!
