Stumped by Gilderoy

[apollinav]

Haaaalp!   Gilderoy stumped me!  (Man, is that embarassing to admit.)

Okay my crafty friends, does anyone know how to answer this one?

On Movie!Gilderoy's duelling vest there is a gold embroidered emblem over his heart.  It is about the size of the palm of my hand.  It features a large 'G,' capped by a crown, and the crown, of course, features little hearts.  (Awe.)

Bugger if I know how to make one.

If you can name it, I've tried it.  Embroidery hoop with gold floss, by hand.  Embroidery hoop with gold thread, by machine.  I've also searched everywhere for something sorta-kinda-ish-if-you-squint mass manufactured appliques - nothing close.

Suggestions?

Here's the duelling vest.  The dummy it's on has breasts, but the vest is fitted for me -without breasts.  So the dimensions look a bit 'off.'



All help is appreciated.

EDIT:  Woot!  Problem solved.  Thanks flist!

No.

It's computerized, but not programable.

Though... it might be worth it to check out the local sewing shops. They might be able to do a commission.

If you download the program and futz with getting the file set up (to get the colors right and whatnot), my momma could accept that commission...

That would work for me.

I create a .jpg and scan it in to the program and email it to her?

*nods*

It's a teensy bit more complicated than that, but I figured it out pretty quickly.

Gimme a shout next week, and I can give you a hand hashing it out.

Awesomness!

The program is super fun....

It's all I can do to keep myself from embroidering naughty knickers for Pansy.

And you're stopping yourself because...?

--And I thought you already had some naugty ones during the zibit con. Did your knicks go astray???

You left them in his pocket - didn't you!

Don't deny it.

Oh, I've still got those knickers. :)

Mr. PJ still shakes his head when I declare it's a Pansy day. :)

LOL. I've convinced mine to Cosplay Hagrid. (he's a natural fit - he's just got to stop shaving for a few weeks.)


Because shipping Lockhart/Hagrid is made of win.

LOL!

I'm reminded of Azkatraz when Albus!Mr. Droxy kissed Snape!Droxy.

Cannot. wait. for. July.
