Girl with a Star Spangled Heart

I began embroidering in 2019 when Disney’s D23 held a design contest for the 50th Anniversary of the Haunted Mansion. I decided to enter a jacket with patches. By the end, it had 45 patches featuring the Haunted Mansion attraction. Many embroidery techniques were employed, such as redwork, applique, hand embroidery, and specialty threads (glow-in-the-dark and metallic). To my delight, I placed third and haven’t stopped since.

Soon after, I learned the art of digitizing and tested a myriad of patch-making methods before finally perfecting my craft. While there are many techniques that can be applied to creating a patch, I believe my method creates the sharpest and cleanest results. I then embarked on designing ITH (in-the-hoop) embroidery projects, which I found quite fascinating.
