Dancing shoe bags.
A friend of mine wanted shoe bags to give to her Grandchildren for Christmas so I embroidered these five designs onto the fabric then stitched up the bags in no time.It was so lovely creating something special for her dancing GK's.
I love how the one for Nash just fell into place on my computer but silly me, when I started stitching out the design on the actual fabric I used the wrong weight stabiliser for the very fine Lawn fabric so it pulled rather badly. I used heavier weight stabiliser for the four girls' designs.
Thanks for looking.
Hugs n roses, Meganne

Thank you dear friend. Yes Fred was a freebie I collected some time ago, not very well digitised I'm afraid, it didn't have any stitching where the shirt fronts are, but it only took a couple of minutes to add some so that the fabric colour wouldn't show through. It all looks effective and my friend loved it, so that's all that matters.
hugs n love, xxxx

No Chris they're for my bowling friend Terrie, we've been bowling buds for about 18-20 years or so. I pick her up and drop her back home every Tuesday night.
Her GK's are awesome dancers and Nash and Brylie do tv commercials and advertising brochures they're gorgeous looking kids and it was a real pleasure for me to do these. xxxxx

Thanks Vicki. I only digitised the text and the Jaz - ballet dancer for Liana, the rest were freebies from here and there. XXXXX

Thanks CPM.
I think there is always something to learn with embroidery, it's all part of the challenge that gets us involved and keeps us coming back for more. LOL!!!

318426I see what you mean on Nash, how the feet are placed just right on the letters. Very smart of you Meganne. I have been needing to stitch a ballerina on bath towel but just haven't found a ballerina just right. I like how you stitched these in pink, not black.

Thanks Toogie the Freds just dropped into place when I digitised the text, it truly wasn't planned, just happened. :-)
The colours were chosen by my friend, they are the dancing school's colours of hot pink and a Royal blue, it's just a pity she also chose the fabric which I would have preferred to be cream or beige but she was thrilled with them.
If you're interested I can send you the"Liana" Jaz-ballet dancer as I digitised her myself, otherwise I could digitise any other ballerina silhouette you might like. Just drop me a line, any time. hugs n roses, Meganne
