Seeing lidiad's beautiful doily I decided to make one as well. The design stitched out beautifully but the scallops were a disaster - needed to change the needle, cut the fabric to close and when I rinsed out the wss and stretched it before ironing the s
Zipped bags My neighbour gave me some remnants of what's called "folklore" fabric here. That means is is or was used for regional costumes, the genuine ones not what is known abroad as the Dutch costume (that's just a faux mix of some of the re
Birthday card. Redid the card and made a 'normal' machine embroidery, this time for an alomost 4 yr old girl. I like the other one better.
Birthday card. I wanted to create a free embroidery impression, but do it on the embroidery machine. The tiny bunting pieces made it rather fiddly. So I think I'll change it to a normal ME design.
I changed the 'nun' to a penguin, a dark grey one by want of black felt.
Finger puppet penguin. Had some small pieces of black felt left, just enough to make what with some imagination looks like a penguin.
FSL easter egg I had to do something different after all the finger puppets. So here's my 'something else'.

Bibs and towel. A neighbour asked me to embroider some bibs and a towel for a colleague. I used the stork on the birth announcement to create a design. Emailed her a computer generated picture of the design, which she liked, so I hope she'll be pl
Fabric tray knick-knacks. Instead of doing this on the sewing machine and using the built-in fancy stitches, I digitised one for a 200x200 mm hoop. Only had to sew the corners.
Fingerpuppets Here are the last, a lamb, a goat, an elephant and a panda. I'll upoload them in DBC.
FP owl and tiger Two finger puppets I made and uploaded in DBC. I have yet to test a lam, a pand and an elephant before I can upload those as well.
Cards. First experiments with my Embellisher/ Punch machine (which has been lurking in my sewing room for a couple of years). The one on the left, the first one I made, started out with a felt circle on beige felt. I used felt and knitting yarn, on
Sue's basket. Simply HAD to make one. It stitches like a treat, hardest part is sewing the seams together. Now I have to go look for a matching ribbon. Thanks Sue!
Towels An acquaintance asked me to embroider 3 towels for a grandnephew of hers. He was born in the year of the dragon under Aquarius and named after a Dutch river, the Maas. So there had to be a dragon, something river-like and his name. This is w
