Pokemon Bookmark

[StitchPlease]

This is a commission from my Etsy shop, but it turned out so well I wanted to share it with everyone! It's about 5 by 2 inches, and I glued felt on the back for added durability. I stitched it on plastic canvas with all 6 strands. Let me know what you think!

It's really cute! The shadowing on the letters really make them stand out!

So jealous

I've been trying to do the edging for about 2 years now. First I failed with Christmas ornaments (I ended up just leaving a plastic canvas edge around them), and now I'm failing with bookmarks.

Help me have a win. How did you do the edging?

[faewren]

Nausica of the Wind and Miyazaki-san for the win! Studio Ghibli forever!

Which kind of edging technique did you use? The wrap around?

[StitchPlease]

Thanks! Yeah I used the wrap around, and I just finished posting a tutorial in the Misc. for anyone who might want it. It's funny, the most feedback I've ever gotten has been on how I do the wrap around!

Love this! I might have to steal the idea of using felt on the back for my husbands bookmark. We were trying to figure out how to back it. Of course I have to wash and iron it first.

But doing edging really well is actually not as *ahem* common as you might think. I'm terrible at it for the record. And I've seen a lot of not so great stuff out there too. (Generally not here, more just out on the web.)

I was remiss however, in not commenting on how cute the Eevee was. And how I thought that the shading stitching on the name made it pop out of that electric blue color. Well done!

10 count or 14 count plastic canvas?

It looks fantastic.

It's 10 count, 48 by 14. Thanks!
