DIY Embroidery

In this article I am going to explain the simple steps to embroider a shirt, but really these steps can be used on any clothing item including pants, jean jackets, or sweatshirts.

This project was inspired by my friend Holli and it is something that we actually got to do and work on together. We were very slow, while crafting because we would watch movies, snack, and talk while we embroidered so it may of taken us about a month to actually finish this project but you totally could make it faster, maybe even within a few hours depending on what your embroidering an if you really focused.

Keep reading to find out the steps & of course to see pictures of the final product:

first you have to pick out what you are going to embroider

There are tons of ideas if you just google for it or look on Pinterest if you are needing inspiration.

Buy or find the following materials

Once you get your shirt or what ever you are choosing to embroider then you need to go and get the supplies. Me and Holli found our shirts from our local goodwill, because we didn't want to support fast fashion and because it was cheaper and then we headed to the store and picked up the thread and needle from the craft section.

finally start embroidering

if you are not familiar with this it is basically the same thing as sewing. You want to start you first stitch from the underneath part of your garment so you don't see the knot and then you just stitch up and down through the fabric to spell out the different words or to follow a pattern of your liking. If this is confusing you I am sure that you can easy google and find a tutorial of watching someone embroider on Youtube, but it is quite simple. I taught Holli how to sew for the first time just by making this shirt and hers came out amazing! If it helps you you can draw it on your garment prior of even just draw on a piece of paper and have that by your side you you can get the spacing right. But that also isn't necessary, I just free handed mine because I didn't care for it to be perfect! It is truly a Limited Edition piece.

Hope You enjoyed!! Also peep my other bestie Maddie & props to us for setting up a tripod and remote timer to take these pictures at 7am this weekend- GO Girls!!!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
