Notebook covers. I was asked for a number of items for a raffle. Made these covers for A6 notebooks. They are both made from a strip of velour (got that when I shortened my daughters curtains); the one one the left is free hand embroidery over the
Latest addition to the menagerie.
Any one interested in testing an elephant gove puppet for me? I have no time to do it at the moment.
Sheep glove puppet I digitised a hairline, stitched it in white and thus it is invisible. Next time I'll do it in grey.
Penguin. I've been trying to make a penguin puppet (right); it looks strange in the picture as it's one black mass, but a lot better in real life. Turning the arms inward make it look a bit better (left). A bit shorter at the bottom and it would
Tiger. I'm making Sue's handpuupets for my GD and digitised a tiger to go with all the friendly animals.
A friend asked me to make a replica of the favourite toy of her GD that was sucked and bitten so much it was ready to be trashed. I cut roughly the same shape and digitised a head - the original had a gathered and filled circle just like the 'hands'. Us

ITH little purse #2 Had to try a different one. When it was stitching I realised the motif would be nice for a coaster, a pincushion or a needle holder. So back to the machine.
ITH purse I once bought Husqvarna's CD "Little purses in the hoop" and made lots of those. They were for a 150x240 or 150x360 hoop. My Ruby has a 200x360, so I made one for that hoop. Used the decorative stitches Embird offers and a few I digiti
Flower with mylar Almost 3 years ago I digitised a design to be embroidered (both the complete design as well as the parts) scattered on a light weight scarf. Today I was looking for something to use on a book cover. I tested it with mylar and
