Cock-Tail Napkin #5

This cocktail series is getting annoying, huh?  There is only one napkin left after this one.  Did I mention that I actually had a dream last night that I found more cocktail napkins ready to be stitched?  That is how I know my domestigay cock-tail napkins are getting out of hand!  So without further ado… The Big Gay Umbrella Drink!

 

 

The pattern for this napkin comes from Sublime Stitching’s Embroidered Effects.

Cocktail Napkin #2: Martini!

What is this? TWO domestigay posts in ONE day?  How can it be?  Procrastination is the key!

I love martinis.  I almost had a martini last night called “Sexy Bartender,” but decided a gin and tonic was in order.  Martinis are delicious.  They can be even more delicious when consumed with a hand-stitched cocktail napkin.  Check it out.

Can you tell I was stressed when I stitched the bottom half?  Look at how small those stitches are compared to the rest!  I used a split stitch for the olive.  I don’t like the split stitch very much because it never looks how I think it should look in my head.  This is much closer to how I think it should look though.

This pattern comes from the Sublime Stitching book.  I tell ya, that Jenny Hart makes cool stuff.

Cheers!
