From photos to fabric

I really enjoy machine embroidery, and in our group we discussed that machine embroidery and hand stitch are going to take center stage in our project as they are both slow processes and require love and patience. I have taken fabrics and dyed them, then taking colours from my photos and using thread and different machine feet to explore and experiment with stitch on the machine, creating different textures and feel to the fabric. I want to carry on experimenting and begin to start on a final sample, perhaps stitching into the inside of a shirt or the inside lining of a pair of trousers to create the 'hidden gems' effect.
