This time my customer wanted 8 guest towels (30x55 cm) for other family members. I hope I won't see another crest for a few months! The colours in the picture are off as I used a flash. In real life the light blue is almost green. Now I re
Bathtowels - I had to embroider 12, 4 white ones with names of children (which I did before Christmas), the other 8 in assorted colours with the logo Perseverabo - I will persevere. I hate those small letters and half way through decided to emboss lig
A friend loved the notebook I gave her so much, she asked me to make her 10 for her "gift-drawer". The ones in the first row have a design that is in my EP-4, embroidered on curtain fabric; the second row are designs by me on linen; the th
Heart for Valentine. I have been busy sewing but had to do something creative as well.
Little blue dress. I sewed a rather severe looking blue woollen dress. But there is a surprise, see picture 2. I think it would look nice with a white T-shirt and white legging. The fabric was a remnant my neighbour gave me. The pattern I used befo
Recycled lower trouser legs.<br /><br /> Hubby had a tear at the knee of his trousers. I did not want to make another bag, notebook cover or pencil case (my gift drawer has enough of those) so I did this skirt. Could cut 6 parts out of 3 of the front
Cover for small notebook. Made the cross stitch files and tested the larger one first. Then decided to make an ITH cover with a smaller one. Unfortunately my thread shredded like mad, but the machine behaved when I inserted a new needle. But the misha
What a difference an embroidery makes. The slightly boring solid red fleece I showed in Sewing. Added the embroidery and a simple line of stars along the seam of the collar.
Bib - quick order in between sewing.
Pumpkin mug rug. I had a go at another mug rug. Although I digitised borders as in the other one, I skipped those when I tested it. I knew those worked well. I must say I like it better with the borders. As there are no jumps it stitches out ver
Autumnal mug rug Another addition to my mug rug collection. I used the shape of a FSL pumpkin I made several years ago (see picture 2) and made it into an appliqué design. To test it I decided to make a mug rug instead of just another test that wo
Bib with a simple name design on it. Used my favourite method to tame the towelling, a simple cross-hatch fill in the colour of the bib - see pic #2.
Cross stitch design As much as we hate to be seen as just regional costumes and wooden shoes, as well as Delft blue,tulips and windmills, we embrace it as soon as tourism is concerned. Even the postal office issued a stamp 2 years ago. So here
Cross stitch mug rug - or not. Last week when sorting out a cupboard I came across a small embroidery I made 70 years ago. The design was printed on the linen, I did not like the gaps between the crosses then and still don't, but my mother insiste
Mug rug. I used my ginkgo design to make an ITH mug rug. I used variegated thread for the leaves; not too happy with the top left one, the ombré type threads are much nicer.
