How to stitch an auto portrait

by

Muddlepud came up with a perfect, manly needlework gift for her husband’s birthday. It’s a portrait of one of his favorite cars, the BMW 325ci. She says,

When he was gone I stole the photo from his computer, turned it into a line drawing in Photoshop, and transferred it onto a piece of fabric cut out of an old bed sheet. I used two strands of black floss (1 strand in the BMW logo) and went to town. It’s about 5.5 inches tall and 10 inches wide.

Brilliant! Father’s Day is just around the corner in the US. If you’ve been stuck for the perfect gift, why  not stitch up a framable portrait of your dad or husband’s favorite car.

Get the details from Muddlepud’s post.
