I say!
Check it out. Locher's are taking the purpose and function of machine embroidery to a whole new level. I rather like some of these, and I really like the idea, but wish I has access to an embroidery machine. None is *quite* perfect (thought I'm seriously tempted by Tops 2 and 3). Some of the phrases are a leetle cliched, or I would be uncomfortable wearing them ('I play rough', fine. 'Good luck, motherf*cker', fine. 'Sorry boys, good girls swallow', not fine in my delicately calibrated offence-o-meter). I don't particularly like those that make the phrase overtly obvious (across the back, say). It takes away from the assumption that it's some girly little slogan dropped 'mongst the flowers.

Locher's are great! When I first found them, I was sure I was going to buy one, then I couldn't make up my mind and none of them seemed quite right. Gorgeous cut to the top, wrong slogan. Adore the embroidery, but not the sleeves. So I didn't buy any. Love the concept though and only wish I could sew and embroider. :/
I love them, but like you I don't know if I agree with some of the slogan, especially the obviously placed ones and like pen & purl there isn't one top that I think has a good slogan and a good cut. I think 5 is my pick, but I don't particular love the slogan, it's a bit...nothing.
I like the idea though, and most of the floral embroidery is very cute. I do wonder though if you just top a top you did like to one one of those embroidery shops in the mall whether they could do something similar? I couldn't be bothered to done one by hand :P
Hi,
I'm writing an article about handmade things for a journalism subject and I was wondering if you'd be willing to answer some quick questions for me via email? You can reach me on elin[dot]berglund[at]gmail[dot]com Thanks!
I'm with you: cute idea, but not the right combination. I like things just little more "wearable around the grandparents."
Hi lupinbunny!
I get a real buzz when I see other bloggers have linked me. :)
Although chesnuts can be found at most of our local supermarkets when in season, I haven't met anybody that has tasted them. Have you, and do you like them?
Have a great day.
