I've been clearing a few things from my work bench:
I had a boring black and a very right red rose printed pashmina -
but scarves annoy me as they come unwrapped from my neck, so a bit of cutting and a bit of sewing later . . .
I have a black and rose infinity scarf
I don't think I've shown one of my more detailed machine embroideries - a customer asked for a traction engine (!!!) It took a fair amount of research to find an image I felt I could trace and he felt represented a traction engine - but we finally got there, and he got these
And I bought a small portable charger for my phone, but the leads kept hiding in the depths of my hand bag, so I made it its own little case
(annoyingly there is too little fabric at the bottom and you can see the stitching, but it's for me, and for a first attempt just one mistake is acceptable!)
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Lovely scarf. I haven't tried the infinity scarves yet, but they do seem to look nice.
ReplyDeletelove what you did with your scalf .. so much better than just lying in a drawer xx NEXT TIME you make a little bag it will be soooo much better because you tried .. and learnt what not to do xx looks good from here ! lol x
ReplyDeleteLove that phone charger zip bag fabric. Sweetwater goodness - road 15 -- one of my faves.
ReplyDeleteI love the resulting scarf too - not so bright red, not so boring black - great hack.
Great conversion of the annoying pashminas into a gorgeous infinity scarf Benta. Those traction engines are pretty impressive too :)
