Digitised and embroidered 6 patches for a leather jacket that will be given to the winner today. The firm that used to make them each year went bust and did not share the embroidery files. A new firm asked a hefty fee to digitise etc and as there will be
Knitted a present for my granddaughter. She loved it. I have knitted simple colourwork lately, but a pattern like this I had not tried for a very l o n g time. The pattern is from a book by Linka Neumann called 'Villmarks Gensere'. There is an En
I am in Norway, at my daughter's. Esther has regular sewing sessions with a friend and I was invited to come along. We did an apron using the same pattern. I showed Esther how to embroider on the HV Ruby using an old design I once made on the onl
Made some towels for my granddaughter Ruth and some of her teammates. Have to do at least three more.
My neighbour asked me to make two bibs and embroider them with a design based on the birth announcement. I did not like the colours she chose. I would have liked them grey-ish with less contrast. I noticed the last thing I embroidered on my 4-needle w
Neighbour ordered 2 hand-towels with their family design. Did those for the first time in 2008 and updated the file several times. I had not used that machine for ages as I have been sewing a bit and knitting a lot.
Made two more baby dresses. The first one was gone before I even took a picture, the second showed earlier. I must say I like the number #2 the best. So here are #3 and #4 and a picture of the three of them.
Small summer dress (about 18 moths). Have a lot of this fabric left, need to sew more!
At last I embroidered a few things. Our open air swimming pool closes on the 12th to reopen in May. The small group early morning swimmers end the season with coffee and cake plus a gift for the 'badjuf' (life guard). There are 4 on rotation so
I posted the result of 4 months Corona activities in July, here is the total of 12 months. I can't send it to my usual charity due to their policy. Well, it will keep till better times. And I started the next one :)
Last week gerryvb posted a design which I liked and stitched out on a bib, or rather on two. I embossed the background to tame the fabric and mirrored it on the second one. And changed the colours a bit. Nothing as boring as doing the same thing exactly t
I bought the bias tape binder for my Bernina and practised making bibs. Just plain, with or without lining and the embroidered the unlined ones. Used my Brother 190D and some of the inbuilt designs.
Embroidered two towels for my friend as presents to her two sons. For their wives I did the cranes you saw earlier. The file was made from the example in picture two. She was delighted. The Latin saying translates as: Wise (is he) who acts wisely.
Was a bit in a hurry to embroider two more towels for my acquaintance and do some sewing at the same ttime as I am running a bit behind schedule. The embroidery looked good so I proudly folded the towel to wrap it up. Hmmm ... I had stitched it on the bac
Had to do two towels for a friend as gifts for her DILs, 'something with a crane'. Looked at a number of pictures and then draw and digitised my version of it. Tried out a crane on a wash cloth, then made the towels. I am quite pleased with the result.
