Angeles Die Hard is an Art Show of Imaginary Biker Gangs starting Nov 27-Dec 14 at the University Union Gallery at Sacramento State in California. This Yahoo Yankees vest with detailed embroidery is part of the exhibit and was made by Candice aka "Snaggs" in Seattle.
Snaggs says, "I should start out by saying I've just been sewing for the past couple of years, and sorta just learned different techniques through experimenting and trial and error. I have found a VERY laborious way to stitch all of the detail in my pieces. It's actually pretty ridiculous because I sew the image slowly, stitch by stitch, minute by minute, hour by hour. I'm sure there's easier ways to do it. Perhaps one of those fancy embroidery machines... but until that day I'll just keep my eyes right up to the fabric until my eyes bleed." Link.
Actually, that IS the way to do it- stitch by stitch, minute by minute. Hand stitching is its own thing and always will be. Congrats on some lovely work.
