mySewnet Embroidered - Made for Mermaids pattern




I found inspiration for this top from a women's retailer.  It was a beautiful sweatshirt with lots of embroidery and puff sleeves.  I knew I needed to recreate this look.  I am so happy with my top, it turned out even better than I had hoped.

I opened mySewnet  and went to work designing. I usually can create from the Superdesigns in mySewnet but this time I could not get the look I wanted.  I went to mySewnet library and found the perfect design, which is 1/2 of this design, for my front I copied the design and pasted on the other side and mirrored it.  This design is 32,000 stitches which shouldn't take long but many of the stitches are long stitches.  This means the machine stitches slower and it takes lots of thread.  This design stitched just under 3 hours.  I did change the settings to do a monochromatic as I was going to do it all the light blue.  Well, about 2/3rds through the design I looked and what was my very full spool of thread was a very small amount of thread left.  I looked through my embroidery thread and went with a gray.  It was one of those happy results, I like the look of the two colors.  


See the small flower in the bottom left?   Well, for the front neckline to recreate my inspiration, I modified this from the original design.  I used it to repeat with the Encore feature and added a curve to mimic the neckline.  I did stitch this all in one color and it took about 45 minutes to stitch.



Next was the sleeve, which I again modified (which is essentially cutting the part you want making a new design).  I did modify a few stitches out as you can see in the bottom flower.  I didn't notice that until I stitched the sleeve.  I just handstitched those missing stitches in.  The sleeves were the last thing I stitched out, so I went with mostly gray and just a bit of the light blue.  These took 30 minutes each to stitch.

Each time I use mySewnet I am more impressed with its capabilities and what I can create using it.


I found the perfect pattern to recreate the Anthro look  and that pattern is Made for Mermaids Pepper Puff Sleeve Top & Sweaters  I went with the longer choice of the short sleeves and the high hip length.  My fabric is from stash and the ribbing is, too.  I did have to shorten the width of the bottom band due to limited ribbing.  

Since there were so many stitches, there is a bit of puckering in the front but I am okay with that.  I don't think you notice it as the design just is the star of the garment.

So four hours of embroidery later, I think my top is perfect.  I am so happy how it turned out and the embroidery is the star of the garment.



It was so fun to make and will be even more fun to wear

  2. THE EASY WAY TO RECOVER YOUR LOST CRYPTO/FUNDS: Lost hope in a crypto scam? I got my $394,330 back! I invested $430,000 in a bogus crypto site. Big returns promised, withdrawals blocked, extra fees demanded – it was a nightmare. Feeling trapped, I even considered the unthinkable. My family helped me through it, and my niece suggested HACKERSTEVE911. They'd helped her with grades, but I'd never thought of them for this. To my surprise, they tackled crypto scams too! I contacted them, expecting little. But within four days, they recovered $394,330! My hope, my life, was back. If you're in a similar situation, don't lose hope. Reach out to them via hackersteve911@gmail.com. They're real heroes, and they can help you too.

Let me start by saying that I have been extremely satisfied with the exceptional service that whitehathacker723@gmail.com has provided me in the past week therefore I want to use this opportunity to show my gratitude for your work and support in helping me recover my lost crypto investment sir. I must admit, when I first came to you I was very skeptical because I was told that most crypto recovery services were only a scam and that no one could actually recover my crypto from the investment company. However, today I am a firm believer and I can confidently to say to everyone that I got saved through your professional service. Also I have also recommended the company to two of my colleagues who have taken advantage of his services to recover their funds from those fake companies and are currently taking full advantage of the ample services that whitehathacker723@gmail.com has to offer. Once again, thank you so much. I really cannot explain in words how grateful I am to you , you can email him at whitehathacker723@gmail.com.
