I was excited to see the new thread collaboration: Cotton+Steel Thread by Sulky.  The new line of 50 wt. thread is Egyptian Grown, Extra-Long Staple Cotton is twisted, dyed, and, finished in Italy, with the final winding done in Germany. All 100 colors of this fine all-purpose thread were carefully chosen to include essential sewing colors plus a mix of fun, vibrant colors. 
The story is in the details. Follow along the manufacturing path of Cotton+Steel Thread by Sulky in this short video as the Sulky team traveled through Europe and learned the steps involved in making this thread.

I went with the Cotton + Steel Thread OESD Embroidery CollectionIn this new Cotton+Steel Thread by Sulky Slimline contains all the colors needed to stitch every design in Scout by Cotton+Steel. Consisting of 25 mix-and-match patch designs, Scout is the first ever embroidery collection by Cotton+Steel. 

The cute patches and little details were the perfect addition to my denim jacket made from my kids’ upcycled jeans in my last post, here. The OESD Embroidery collection, “Scout” features darling little animals, geometric patch outlines, fruit, and other fun designs. They remind me of the old school Girl Scout patches I use to get as a child.  I made a patch representing each of my boys.  The Mustang horse was coincidentally perfect as this is my sons’ school mascot: The Monarch Mustangs.  I went with the “Louie” the lamb, “Vinny” the fox, and J the sheers as he’s my little artist… I couldn’t resist the strawberry and happy daisy for momma!
