Bluegrass Patch, Handmade, Velvet Sew On Patches for Battle Jackets. Music Lover Gifts for Record Lovers.,

The black and white portrait is applied to white linen, stitched onto blue velvet.

The embroidery is done by hand, with rays and french knots worked in mixed metallic threads that catch the light across the surface. Surrounding the oval is the coolest, vintage, Italian "gimp".

Finished with a small, vintage gold heart that you will find throughout my collection!
