Hello,
I hope all is well with you, dear reader.
I have received a wonderful response to the embroidered Berets and thoroughly enjoy embellishing them.
I came across a piece of beautiful, luxurious black velvet fabric and thought it a good idea to make scarves...all went well until I made the scarf up (backing with the same velvet). Just a simple long rectangle, easy!!! I'm afraid to say that particular skill alluded me. The velvet has a mind of it's own and is quite uncooperative, to form nice points and keep to a straight line when turned right side out.
Shan't be going down that road again.
Purses ....
Over the years, I have made many, many purses and so, after a long break, I thought it would be great to start making them again and embroidering in the same way as the Berets.
I used a lovely wool felt for this one and have successfully made the purse up without wanting to throw it down the garden, in temper!
This particular purse was a commission...I and the purchaser are very happy with how it turned out. Yay!
That's me for today ...
thank you for stopping by X
