Late Night Stitching

Late Night Stitching

Not done that for sometime and it's something I have been trying to make a concious effort to do now that I work full time in London and free time is at a premium.

So here we go I have been making wrapped loops for no other reason than I like the effect, especially the one I did last night which was two plastic circles held together and then buttonhole stitch/loops all the way round. Then for added detail I stitched on small beads. Fun. I highly recommend this easy method of creating circles.

More to Come

Project finished!

Nothing quite like finishing a project for your own abode, I always feel slightly smug when I finish a project when its for me. Because frankly I rarely make anything for me, and to make something that's for me and practical frankly its almost a myth. Here we are an end of the bed thingie (I have no name for it) with pockets, done and dusted! Go me! It's now willing me to finish the experiment I had with the net curtain in the livingroom, going to finish it today, or at least get a fair whack of it done, so far I have two buttons badly sewn on and doing nawt.


Of course it does make me feel bad at the same time, I wanted to make some more things for my shop but I honestly don't know what to make. Which I feel sad about. So I think I'll get on with the mini patch work sampler and see where that takes me.


What wonders have you made?

Done!

 

Bedroom tidy...for a change.
End of bed hiding thingie put to use.

New WIP

Feels good to be doing random stitching, I think this is the way my work is slowly heading, gone are the days of the pre-planning the working out everything single step, stage, stitch and material you name it. Sure I will still sketch, and have perhaps a little idea of what I want to make but I think owing to a new line of work where concentration and a 100% focus is needed I need to be able to switch off, and this is where these little projects come in.

I hope you enjoy the progress of this little quilt as much as I enjoy stitching it.
