To Boldly Embroider Where No One Has Embroidered Before

I started my Bespin cloak embroidery the other night! What I'm using here is something called a shadow stitch. It's not very even, but I'm still learning. Here's a video tutorial on how to do it. 
I've put the cloak fabric and all my embroidery supplies in a cat tote bag, so I can work on it when I'm out, but I think I'll get most of it done each night while watching Star Trek!Speaking of Star Trek - the 50th anniversary is coming up later this year! And, although there doesn't seem to be any events happening in Melbourne, I am hoping to make a uniform to celebrate.
