Here is the latest Homespun Mag - our Aussie fav!
wow check that out - its got my name on THE COVER! I am still getting over that LOL!
Inside this issue you will find 5 strawberry stitcheries and a clever bunting that I have designed.
I wanted to make some bunting unlike anything already available. Something that was fabric friendly - easy to make - reversible and interchangeable on a rope/string - and a shape that would be suitable for displaying stitcheries.I played with heart, hexagon and rectangle shapes - and came up with a fabulous scallop shape. The bunting can be made in any theme. Christmas, birthday, new baby, housewarming, sewing room - and you can just add to it as you go - reverse the pieces and change their position on the rope as you please.
I am going to make some out of old doyleys and 1920's fabric for my sewing room and hang them over a window frame. Hope to show you that soon and show you the possibilities.
In the mag I have stitched the strawberries in pastel shades but they also look great as redworks. Here is a close up cropped pic of two designs that I have stitched up in red DMC variegated thread.
I am going to put white ric rac around them in a circular shape - attached with red running stitch - and add a vintage red button. Then they will each be placed in white distressed frames. Lots of other possibilities for these! Pincushions, feature panel on a small bag etc etc
I hope you enjoy the latest Homespun over the Christmas holidays.
