Five baby dresses. I got three bolts of fabric and started to make dresses for charity. I used one and the same pattern but varied it for all of them. They close with 5 buttons on the back and I am not particularly keen on making buttonholes. So I digi
Bibs I just had to try the 'bapron' pattern. They are lined with the printed flannel you see in the background. I digitised a small boat similar to the ones on the fabric and copied it 3 times. Made a second bib and enlarged the boat pattern. I p
Towel I bought a design from EmbLibrary, left out the top half and used it twice to get a border. Gift for a friend.
Doily Honeysuckle It was some six months ago I digitised the last doilies and as I wanted to do something cheerful I had a go yesterday. I am not so sure about the leaves, they are a bit large in comparison. The sun was quite bright, even indoors w
FSL bookmarks. I really had to do something other than digitising the alphabet - so boring! So I stitched these out. They are 54x99 mm or 2.12"x 3.91" and have 13.761 st. Took me 42 minutes to do two in one hooping. The outline is a bit thin to m
Coaster for Valentine Inspired by Sue's coaster I made one too. Digitised the little hearts fill stitches. Not following my own advice to use wss for ITH projects, I ran into trouble: the outside satin stitches perforated the tear away stab
Quilt. Couple of years ago my SiL bought me some 25 - 35 cm pieces of Vlisco fabric in the factory's personnel store for a pittance. I used 6 pieces and added two plain fabrics, the orange and the green, and used the Hidden Wells pattern. It resulted
Neighbour asked for a guest towel with the beginning of Vivaldi's 4 seasons as a birthday gift for a friend of her. Asked yesterday, needed it before noon today. I digitized an embossed rectangle and the first few notes. It took 3 hours to digitise, 15 m
Ornament for Christmas tree For the first time since the burglary I digitised something, inspired by the ornaments posted by kereme. I used felt. I might make a few different ones as I have a Christmas market on the 14th and I could do with a fe
January challenge. Little purse to go with the dress I made my granddaughter. I made the pattern for the purse and digitised the design. It was quite a challenge to get the fabric into the metalwork - it kept slipping out, but I won. And I bought half
Bamboo designs, clipart by Clipartoon. I have been digitising them as they were released, 7 so far. The pictures are #6 and #7. Initially I thought they would be too much alike to be interesting, but they grew on me and would be nice as a border o
Anabela's soft toys. Anabela asked me to post a few projects as she is unable to upload the pictures. Picture 1 - Duckies for her granddaughters. Picture 2 and 3 - Owl sewing caddies. I think they are lovely.
Towel. A client asked me to embroider a name on a towel : Nova Lyn. I had embroidered the embossed shield and the top feet when the phone rang so I stopped the machine. It was the client who told me she had misspelled the name, it should be Nova Ly
