After a large lunch and a brisk walk I got down to getting this little bag (for a small person) finished. I had to attach the lining to the bag, add the straps and then the popper. Very happy with how it has turned out.
I used that large pink spot as the lining too.
Time to move to a seat by the fire - it has been a chilly few days here. I needed to finish embellishing this heart which is now ready to make into a lavender sachet, along with another one. Hopefully this afternoon!
I have had a busy week in my sewing space, nearly all of it I cant share for now! However, I think I am safe in showing this postcard.
I made an acrylic print onto brown wrapping paper, then when it was dry scrumpled it up. After a bit of smoothing it was pressed onto pelmet vilene with bondaweb and embellished with machine embroidery. Its a while since I made a post card so this was fun. I made two actually - similar but not the same! I love using this technique and have a few more - different designs - waiting to be made up.
Right! Now to get on with finishing those hearts and then hopefully a walk between showers. Enjoy your weekend.
The little bag is darling. The last time I saw the crazy quilted/embellished sachet you made, I said I wanted to make one too. I forgot about it, but this reminds me. You have such good ideas!
ReplyDeleteLin, the wee pouch is adorable. I’m sure it will be a new treasure. Your heart embroidery and design is delightful. Well, except for the spider. Much too real looking for me. And your postcard is awesome. I love the idea of your technique. You have executed it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteCute little bag. Your embroidery heart is aMAZing!! I so love your work. Have a great weekend too. ;^)

Oh my! Your projects are all so interesting and beautifully made. You are very talented.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little bag. Your embroidery is beautiful. Well done on your lovely postcard xx
ReplyDeleteThat little bag is so cute, the little person will love it. Loving the pretty patchwork lavender bag. I saw some cute lavender bags made as little houses the other day which I am thinking of making. The postcard is super cool. I remember making paper tapa cloth with the kids at school one day using a print technique and then scrunching the brown paper we make it on to soften it like fabric. Great fun. The kids loved it. Loveseeing all the things you do.
ReplyDeleteA lovely little bag ..

I love your varied creative projects! That bag will make a great gift for a special person. When you’re doing your embroidery, do you make it up as you go, or do you have a planned outcome? You do some lovely embroidery!

The pink fabric of the sweet bag looks familiar, I think I have the same fabric in different colour in my stash, somewhere :-)
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy - lovely embroidery for the lavender bag, I like the dragonfly.
The post card looks an interesting method, and the result is really nice too.
