A variety of cushions - designs by Urban Threads and Embroidery Library. The tweedy looking one is a wool mixture upholstery fabric but the others are all cotton fabrics.
A bear for a very new baby - made from his late grandfather's shirts. (Plus the bib I made a couple of weeks ago.)
The left hand picture is the origami candle mat I made using the sewing machine only. The one on the right is made in the hoop with 9 sections. (Mostly because I couldn't face 12 hoopings!!) The ribbon for the bows is added as part of the design so there
Another bag made by adding die cut felt shapes to an embroidery design. This is great fun and the design will always look different. This bouquet was a request for a friend who doesn't have a big enough hoop for the wreath design.
A bag for a good friend -the flowers are die cut from felt and I digitised the leafy wreath to go beneath them. The flowers are added as the last part of the design. The upholstery fabric I used to make the bag didn't play nicely with my sewing machine.
A couple of things to wear. Designs from Urban Threads, t-shirt from Primark, skirt made from scratch. (Denim with brown warp thread.)
An ITH bib made from shirts belonging to the late grandfather of a baby soon to be born. Probably not hugely practical (although it does have a layer of toweling inside) but good for "ceremonial occasions", I hope.
ITH Christmas angel - first draft. First digitising or sewing I've done for weeks!
I bought a die cutting machine in Aldi this morning and it had this flower die with it. So to do something with the various bits of felt I had cut, I adapted one of my needlebook designs. Unfortunately the stabiliser came out of the hoop as I was adding t
A gift for a special friend. The design is from Embroidery Library and is coloured in with permanent markers and then stretched over an artists canvas.
A birthday gift for my sister's partner. For his birthday treat he went for a "Lancaster Experience" which included a taxi ride in Just Jane - a WWII Lancaster Bomber. I thought this cushion would add to his memories.
Two more lavender sachets. These have thinner and therefore better behaved ribbon than the heart shaped one! The central section is a fancy fill on net to let the smell out. I'm afraid the eyes on the owl look a bit bloodshot as the purple bobbin thread
This felt lavender sachet was an idea I had in my head whilst I was away for a couple of weeks. (Bet you didn't notice!) The central heart shape is a lacy fill stitched on net without stabiliser. (Although you can see I didn't quite get it all out befor
Another fidget quilt for dementia patients. This one has even more different textures and hidden lumpy bits than the first one. The lime green zip is actually functional (to a pocket.)
Finished at last! One jelly roll (Fabric Freedom Spice Trail) plus some plain cream and lots of old sheeting (instead of stabiliser.) 38 blocks, pieces, quilted and backed ITH and then ladder stitched together by hand. My intention was that this would li
