#and the design I'm using is a tracing of a fossil bed with multiple creatures in it

This patch is done.

There's still 5 or so holes to go. Not showing anyone the next one until I a) actually make some progress because it's enormous and b) prove to myself it's possible and won't go sideways.

Anyway. More fossil patches to come, because I've decided prehistoric oceans is the theme for these jeans.

New jeans project is actually looking pretty good so far.

Only thing is this is patch 1 of 5 or 6, and this is a relatively small hole compared to the others.

The backing material is synthetic, which I usually wouldn't use with denim, but it feels nice and has a good texture for this look.

The filler spirals are 3 strand embroidery floss. The shell outline is 2 strands embroidery floss and 1 strand metallic thread.
