In recent months I’ve been dabbling in the world of embroidery. Dangerous territory, I know. But I try to use clean needles. 

I’ve mostly been making up my own designs as I go, but there are some fun patterns out there that you can buy for pretty cheap. Apparently, obsolete things are especially fun to embroider! Feeling Stitchy just offered up this lovely set of CRT screens she stitched using patterns from the store andwabisabi, which also makes a pattern for a stitched boombox.

This got me curious about what other embroidered images of obsolete objects were available online. Here are some of my findings.
