I sometimes like to look back through photo albums of past family vacations. One album I looked at, from the summer I was 12 years old, had an outfit that caught my attention. A yellow shirt I fondly remember wearing on hot days. It had an oddly proportioned dog embroidered on with dark brown thread.

Anyways, I had a similar color of knit fabric in my stash so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to try some hand embroidery and sewing with stretchy fabrics.
The embroidery part was easy enough once i sketched out the little dog and had it in my embroidery hoop. It was the sewing with knit material that proved difficult. I quickly learned thin and stretchy is a frustrating combo with fabric. -_- But after some work it turned out pretty well overall. I picked up a few little tricks and am ready to tackle stretchy, knit materials again!

what a cool idea and it looks just like your old shirt.
