A Quick Finish from a Scrap of Velour
I found this scrap of velour and immediately saw a soft, cozy scarf! It was a simple finish of sewing down the one side, matching the pattern of course, and then adding a fancy trim to the ends. This fabric drapes so easily, is a good, heavy weight so won't go flying around when wearing and will match my coat!!
Works in Progress
I am currently working on "Peace House" from La-D-Da. I'm not overly thrilled with the color of the called for linen. As you can see from the photo it is a little dark and the cross stitch isn't popping like I would prefer. I may complete as is - or start over on a light piece of linen. Love the design though!
Cross Stitch Ready to be Finished
I completed the cross stitch for "Ghoul Tidings" from Plum Street Samplers (in the Halloween 2013 Magazine) - I just haven't figured out an appropriate finish. If I frame it I'll want a primitive looking frame, but am also thinking of a three dimensional box or flat fold that I could add black beads around the outside. For now - this will go in my "to be finished" box.
This is another finish "to be finished" - Lizzie Kate Flip It October F31. I used most of the called for Sampler threads. I'm thinking a box finish! |
I'm back!!
I finally have a few minutes to post some of the recent items I've finished. This summer I completed the below project bag. I made it from upholstery book samples along with a heavy plastic front.
It is the perfect size to hold a magazine, pattern and thread. And the zipper closure keeps dust and the cats out! |
