Had to finish this order today - shirt front and back and a name on the cardigan, the baseball design was already there. The new born size is always a bit fiddly even when you hoop stabiliser only. The boy was named after his grandpa, hence the text o
Shirt and bib for my grand niece. There's a very tiny decoration on the birth announcement. I combined a few birds and a heart I digitised some time ago and used thread the colour of the card - though it looks different in the picture.
I posted the complete flower alphabet. And added the links to my list of designs. I tested 7 of the 26 and as I had no problems I assumed the rest were OK too. Pleas do not put answers in the list, that way it stays compact.
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
I answered someone's digitisng question and made a small example of how I'd do it. I decided to play with the example and made (the beginning of) an alphabet. I did 10 so far and tested 3. They are 60 mm high. What do you think?
I'm confused. Since yesterday I can not get to Community on my laptop - I get the message Welcome to nginx - but I can on my iPad - as I'm doing now. What can be wrong?
Here's a picture of some of the marble mazes I made at my daughter's request. She wanted them as a gift to my GD's Barnehage (Norwegian Kindergarten).
Pirate hat. My granddaughter wanted a pirate hat. I had a wool felt cone in my millinery stash, steamed and formed the brim, which I left raw. I may have to add a headband to make it fit. Then I digitised a drawing and tried to stitch that dire
Eye glass case with mylar design.
April Challenge. Some 50 years ago I got a sewing thingy made from an octagonal piece of lovely fabric - see image on the left and the bottom. I like the idea but it irritated me that the result was not symmetrical. So I changed Sue's octag
Maze with small marble in it. The design fitted a 200x240 mm hoop. It is made from the back of a leg of a pair of discarded jeans. I did not particularly like the bee, so I digitised a small butterfly for the next one, for which I'll use the other
ITH needle keeper. This is made in a hoop that is at least 100x200 mm. I changed the reel design slightly and added a needle. I used yellow linen and a thin batting.
Bookcover I punch some felt from the back on the flannel, then embroidered it with one of my own appliqué designs.
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
