I have been seeing stitched details all over the place, and think they look so cool, so decided to try my hand at a little embroidery on my NYC Subway Graphic Tank. If you have been following along, you’ve seen my love for neon is very real, examples here, here and here, so it was an obvious choice when picking colors. It was also cool using an embroidery hoop for the first time, it made the process so much easier and quicker even when free-handing. Read on for the step-by-step tutorial.
I’m obsessed with this pop of color added to AEO’s simple black graphic tank!
