Bib - quick order in between sewing.
Candle mat. I just could not resist digitising one of those candle mats. I chose one that has 9 parts (I love uneven numbers), which requires a 40 degree base. I went for a regular square-ish outline to try it out. I have seen lovely shaped petals used
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
BIGEYES618 I see your first question dates back to 2010. All of them have been answered. Just click on the text of your question and you'll see the answers - see also link below. Do not start a new thread, let us know in the latest one that you have b
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.
Cross stitch design As much as we hate to be seen as just regional costumes and wooden shoes, as well as Delft blue,tulips and windmills, we embrace it as soon as tourism is concerned. Even the postal office issued a stamp 2 years ago. So here
As my children told me they hire a container and dump all my stuff in it when I die, I am trying to sew and knit and crochet in order to use up some fabrics, yarns, etc. Yesterday I came across a half sewn skirt with an interesting history. My daughter ha
Cross stitch mug rug - or not. Last week when sorting out a cupboard I came across a small embroidery I made 70 years ago. The design was printed on the linen, I did not like the gaps between the crosses then and still don't, but my mother insiste
Some time ago I posted that I got a number of cones thin yarn for knitting machines. I knitted a jumper for my granddaughter (swatch picture 4), crocheted a lap-size blanket (start of it picture 3), did a second one with different coloured stripes (pictu
Years ago I bought a panel of 12 men's hankies. I cut them up, thought about the narrow hems and left them in my stash. So yesterday I ordered some accessories for my machine, which just arrived, amongst them a narrow hem foot. 2mm, about 1/12 of an inch
Mug rug. I used my ginkgo design to make an ITH mug rug. I used variegated thread for the leaves; not too happy with the top left one, the ombré type threads are much nicer.
Baby bib. Had to make a gift for a newborn baby - born on my birthday - and used a few items on the announcement card to make this embroidery. I did not have the right font and did not want to spend time digitising that. Anyway, a different fond wa
Read an article on making your own fabric from (tiny) scraps. So I had to have a go at it. Used a bit larger pieces - "big steps, home early" my grandma would have said. I used a felt background, no adhesive, put some bridal netting on top and hoped
Design for Maryze. I was asked to embroider a baby bathrobe with a name and 'something extra'. So I digitised something that resembled the design on the birth-announcement. Client wanted the name in pink, thus the change in colours. Tested it
