So, by now you either have the new patterns in your stitchy little hands, or are anxiously awaiting them. Wanna project ideer? How about this one using the Vintage Lamps and Glow-in-the-Dark thread? What a bright idea...

Who: You!
What: Hoodie w/ Vintage Lamps and Glow-in-the-dark (GITD) thread
When: Right now! Or, when you have time. Give yourself 1-2 hours
Easiness Level: Beginner to Intermediate
A Note on Knits: Unlike cotton weaves, hoodies and t-shirts are knits, which makes them spongy and stretchy and more challenging to embroider (ie: #$%@!). You may want to use a stabilizer for your project. But, I stitched this hoodie without using a stabilizer, just more patience.
A transfer tip: The best results for getting a pattern on knit fabrics is with an iron-on transfer or transfer pen. Carbon transfer paper, while great for smooth fabrics like cotton weave, just doesn't take too well to spongy, soft surfaces. Dangit!
Oh and: I worked with a hoop on this project. When working with stretchy fabrics on a hoop, be careful not to overdo (overstretch) it. if you really stretch the crud out of your fabric, your work will scrunch up in a way that will make you go boo hoo when you take it off the hoop. There will be no boo'ing and hoo'ing.
