Pencil case.

I digitized a raw edge applique and stitched it on recycled denim. Added lines with my sewing machine to make it less bare. Which was quite a challenge as it turned out using my left foot on the pedal was not as easy as I expected it to be. Well, two more weeks and I might be able to use the right again.

I did not like the raw edge, or rather the thin outline that much, so I changed it to a 'normal' applique to be used on a different project.

It looks very nice! Raw edges seem pretty popular right now too.

It is a fun bright cheerful design. I also like finished edges. I guess it is because I was taught to finish edges.

Yes, it goes against the grain I think -neat finishes were hammered in.

Thanks. I've got a large bag of old jeans legs, so I can try out all sorts of ideas.

Martine....it IS groovy as shilly said. I have tried a couple of the raw edge and I don't love them either. I believe it is my compulsion to be neat.
I do hope your foot gets better really soon. I have missed this conversation somehow?

It was nothing serious, just surgery on a torn Achilles tendon. Nuts and bolts, not life threatening. Seems to run in the family. My son had the same surgery last Wednesday :(

This is really groovy, in retro speak; the lines really add to the applique. Hope the foot recovers quickly...
