This was a project that has caused me problems. I love the design, and it is lovely if done right. Go take a look at it at Embroidershoppe.com - It is called Lavender Lane 1. This is a spare roll cover for the toilet paper. I had issues with putting it together. Not the design, just that I was fumble fingers in getting it together. Too, I think that I used too heavy a batting for it. But, after taking it apart a couple times, and trying again. I decided that this was enough for the day. This is stitched on felt, and is lined (my lining seemed to have shrunk somehow) Ihave all ready started a second one - just to see if I can do one right. The butterflies are stitched on organza first, and then stitched onto the design, making it a 3D.

Pretty, I haven't tried this yet. But I think I might just try soon.

When you do this or any design on toilet paper you just need to use cutaway stabilizer due to batting being too thick for this project. I did mine like that with no problem. I just slowed my machine down to not sew so fast. Roberta

I looks great to me - I have to try one of these soon - as I have this one and have meant to get one made up. Maybe it didn't need the batting, the felt and a lining.

I am redesigning my next one. I have the top all ready stitched. One thing to think about - if you use the larger rolls(as we do) this does not fit. May need to enlarge a little to accomodate it. I will let you know when I play with this one more time. Of course - this one took me over 2 weeks to get complete. LOL

You are going through the butterfly love, aren't you? I have always loved butterflies, and love to see them flying around.

I love the pink and purple combination, lovely design. Using felt seems a good idea, what did you line ot with? Helen

They come with the pattern for the TP Cover. it is all stitched within the design. Very easy to do - all but the assembly. I had issues with that.
