Spent some of Saturday at the Emb. Guild Creative Fibres group.
I did my first free motion stitching after reading the instruction book on my "new"(18months ago) sewing machine.
Here they are.
They are going to be ATC's (artist's trading cards) so when I've added more fibres and some hand embroidery wthey will be cut into small cards and the edges finished. Then they can be swapped in the group.
Here's what I mailed off to the States yesterday to my mmartfriends group.
The first lot are for the category "Beads". I know lots of the group will have made their own beads but I was hard pressed just to get them threaded in time!
I disassembled an old earring from an Op Shop to get the pale blue beads. The larger top ones are polished recycled glass
My second ones are at least made by my own hand. The category is fabric. They are just under 1 inch square
I used a square of metal mesh and buttonhole stitched a square of felt to it.
I then added shaped sequins and jump rings and "Hey Presto!" a Charm. The sequins are a bit too shiny to show properly but they look fine in real life.
