This Geek Chic machine embroidery pattern from Urban Threads is so charming – I love the cat’s eye glasses and subtle coding bits and pieces woven into the overall design! Thanks to my friend Ruth (stitcher and gifter of the +1 of Awesome towel) for spotting it and posting the link.
My friend Ruth Suehle (who contributed the Drive-In Messenger Bag, the LilyPad Arduino Cake, and an essay on costuming to World of Geekcraft) just came to visit Portland for the first time this week, and brought me an epic gift! She machine-embroidered a hand towel for me with a design from Urban Threads that pairs a d20 with the caption +1 of Awesome. I just love it so much.
My friend Ruth Suehle is a super-talented costume designer, but just like her sewing and embellishment projects, her geeky cakes are amazing too. She posted a detailed tutorial for this Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy cake over on Geek Mom – very cool!
