sweatshirts were a big thing back then.
I'm thinking of doing another one on one of my denim shirts
that I have and there are so many new beads
to choose from now a days :)

You don't have to be a peacock lover to admire this. The workmanship is superb.

WOW!! Love this. Im a big love of peacocks, wish I could find patterns for them.

margecam52 05-07-2011 12:13 PM

Was this a pattern from Aunt Martha's? I have one of hers (two actually) and it looks identical. Never thought of beading it...and after one thought...not happening! Yours is stunning!!!!

dry cleaner would not touch it so I turned it

has been washed many times with no problems.
each section is hand tied down.

I believe it was Aunt Martha's.
I had always wanted to incorporate beads
with the embroidery I'd grown up with
and this was the result.

Wow, this is absolutely stunning and who ever see you wearing it is going to want one. If you really enjoy creating one of a kind pieces of wearable art you could have a very profitable future.

Iamquilter 05-07-2011 01:07 PM

Gorgeous.

fairydawn 05-07-2011 01:16 PM

Wow! My future DIL loves peacocks. Do you think that pattern would still be available anywhere?

theresa.redington 05-07-2011 01:32 PM

WOW! This absolutely beautiful!

margecam52 05-07-2011 01:34 PM

Wow...I'm wanting to use the pattern to do some thread painting with metallics...hope it comes out 1/10th of what your embroidery did..I'd be happy!

check ebay online
I usually find mine at estate sales.
you could check with craft stores that still carry Aunt Martha's
they may still produce it.
