One trend we are crushing on around here is star sign and constellation inspired prints! This week Katie stamped and embroidered a beautiful scarf. I love the delicate pattern and hand stitched details. Here's how she did it:
Supplies: craft foam, fabric paint, scissors, white colored pencil, super glue, scarf, embroidery floss & needle, embroidery hoop (optional), disappearing ink pen. 1. Draw a star on a piece of paper and cut it out. Trace the star image onto a piece of craft foam using a white pencil. Cut the star from the foam. 2. Use glue (super glue is fast!) to adhere your foam to a piece of cardboard to create your stamp. 3. Begin stamping out your constellations (I googled a constellations map). Draw the lines between the stars with a disappearing pen and embroider the lines. 4. Continue until your scarf is full!
Happy stitching!

I love this! I was wondering what the constellations were on when I saw the video the other day, this is great! I may have to transfer this idea onto a skirt... :)

This looks so easy and adorable! I'm not very awesome at sewing (yet! hoping to get better) so this would be perfect. Love it!

This is awesome! It would be cute to hand stitch with cross stitch thread too.

Such a good idea! Pretty much all my scarves are knit and I definitely need some that aren't.
