B is for Ballerina - Second block for the ABC BOW

Here is my B embroidery. I'm a little unhappy with this one, as it is probs my favourite letter in the book, and I don't feel I did it justice, the skirt is uneven. I used satin for the leotard, split stitch for the upper petals of the skirt, and stem stitch for the lower. 



I forgot to say last week that I use pencil to mark my fabric, and I just draw/copy it free hand, as I find tracing a bit fiddly, and far too complicated if you are scaling up.


Thoughts?
