Molecular
My sister Laura and I thought it might be fun to decorate some of our handmade gifts this year with a little molecular embroidery. We decided to make up a little quickie free pattern for everyone with our two favorite molecules – caffeine & water. Water is much smaller to stitch, of course – and either design would be cute on bottle cozies, bags, coasters, etc…
For the insulated java jacket above, I traced a paper one from the coffee shop and added about an inch on all sides. It overlaps in the back with velcro, and is fully reversible! Here is a great tutorial on Flickr. The smaller caffeine pattern fits nicely, and my sister will get this in the mail soon for helping us all out
