My homehelp asked me if I could do anything to repair the burn marks/holes her sun got the first time he wore it - children's party cum barbecue. It was placed so close to the hem I made a tab with the initial of the child - H - and the number that w
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
Cute Valentine Challenge. At last I stitched my (ITH) mugrug I used the swan design and added the cross hatch around it. I did the swans as a rough edge appliqué. Now to sew the second one I planned. Maybe tomorrow.
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.
