Discovering this video 4 years later. 😊 So great!

[@worldgonemad1977]

Gorgeous work, plus I think my heart rate was very greatly reduced by that soothing music. Thank you for sharing

You’re handwork...is incredible..they don’t even get in the way while demonstrating...🦋💐💐❤️👍

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

I try hard to keep my hands out of the way for filming even though it's not a very natural way to stitch!

[@LondonEmbroiderySchool]

[@daveneedham924]

Beautiful and doable by your excellent video. Thank you for sharing.

[@martic51]

That is adorable! I’m going to try that on some jeans without the fancy gold...

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Great idea Marti! If you are going to paint the letter on use fabric paint as I've done here and if you heat set it with an iron it won't come off...

[@d.b.4201]

Very pretty! Did you stitch the letter or paint it? Wondering if you cld have filled in the wings with a see thru organza?

[@Shari_A._]

So lovely. Thank you.

[@martaculp6742]

Could you please tell me where I can get the letter from? Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

I just got that off Microsoft Word Marta, type in the alphabet, pick your font and change to the size you want!

[@pendor9612]

Hi, I love this, I have a thistle and rose intertwined as one end of a wedding sash(over the hand thing. I want the initials and date the other end, this idea would be perfect if I run out of time. Thanks for the inspirations.

Очень красиво! Волшебно! 👏

[@anonymouse451]

Phenomenal

[@plasticreplica]

what is the stitch called on the golden h its quite beautiful !

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

The 'H' isn't stitched it is painted in Dylon fabric paint!

[@barbarahudson8879]

Gorgeous project. Where can I find the fabric with the metallic H?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

It's a cotton linen blend If I remember rightly Barbara. We have some nice bio washed cottons on our website that would work well: www.sarahhomfray.com/myshop/cat_1695132-Cotton-fabric.html

[@ladyruby684]

Wonderful project! Please, what is the background music? Has me in such a lovely state of mind.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Sorry, I should have already added this to the video description, but for some reason I hadn't yet! It's 'Healing' by Kevin MacLeod - downloadable from the KZbin Audio library.

[@DanielleComesBack]

Hi Sarah! Was the letter “H” in the background screen printed onto the fabric? It didn’t seem embroidered because of how you were able to easily pass your needle through. Thanks!-Danielle

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

I painted it on with fabric paint Danielle; I printed the letter off from a word processor (just pick the font you like and make it bigger!), used the prick and pounce method to transfer the letter outline and just filled it in with Dylon fabric paint. This goes on very easily and being fabric paint is easy to stitch through.

[@DanielleComesBack]

Sarah Homfray Embroidery thank you! I thought it was printed/painted. ☺️

[@OneJadePrincess]

Beautiful project, though I'm certain it will take me more than one hour 😅 thank you for the tutorial!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

That was based on it taking me about half an hour PepitoPen but don't worry about the time, just enjoy the process!

[@lisajarvis3820]

How do you get the letter “H” put on the fabric background ~ and is it gold paint of some kind?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Yes, just painted on with Dylon gold fabric paint Lisa!

[@lisajarvis3820]

😎

[@justmey7412]

Sorry, but I got to ask one of these annoying "what are you using" questions.... In several of your videos I've seen you use the most beautiful painted work. Other than obvious talent, is there a particular brand or type of paints you use, or is it more a matter of having a quality fabric as a background?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Fabric paints work the best Just Mey! As with anything like this, practice on a spare piece of fabric first!

[@justmey7412]

@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Thanks Sarah. I have a decent art supplies store nearby, I'll see what I can get to play with. Thanks again to be my embroidery enabler 🙁

[@eminecapoglu8727]
