I am making a butt sweater and have some questions  

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
My dad shrunk one of my mom's favorite sweaters and I ended up with the well felted remains. I cut and sewed the butt sweater up and tried it ds for size. Now I have a very functional, but very boring soaker. I need some ideas for embrodering the back. The soaker is a solid very dark green. I thought maybe a northwoods type of design (i.e. moose and pine trees) or a tractor theme (John Deere). Any ideas were I could get a pattern to trace, because I know I am not creative enough to do it free hand?

ive made a few bum sweaters. infact last night i made one out of a plain grey lambswool sweater, but i had leftovers from a sweater that was brown and green stripes so i cut out a heart and sewed it on the bum of the grey one and then sewed a heart with grey on the striped one., its so cute! i think that ill get more elaborate with them, but they are only diaper covers!

If you have a word/wordperfect on your computer, try looking at the clipart. Or do a google search (select "images") for tractor or whatever.

there are some tractors on charts here, each square would equal one duplicate stitch.
