''The edge of her dress'' was embroidered last night. I am really happy with the way this has turned out. It was so relaxing to embroider that I'm sure making haberdashery, (buttons and trims), for a living would be so creatively satisfying but I doubt it would be viable. These things take forever to make and who wants to pay £10 a metre for trim! Shame, could have been a plan.That said though, my excitement is building! I have big plans for the Makey Do that I can't wait to start, little things, buttons, pincushions, things like that.
So plans...............tonight put my latest little lady together. Tomorrow, more work on my commission then after that it's Makey Do all the way!
Have a great weekend!

What a beautiful trim and the flowers look great as they are. Look forward to meeting doll number 4
Oh, I can hardly wait!!! This is the best yet. I just LOVE the patches and then the dainty flowers are great.
So fresh and pretty.x
Lovely as ever. When you wet press do you spray and then press?
Your work looks so professional and fresh.
Sigh. Beautiful. I wish I could do what you do. I used to embroider as a child, inspired by my needlework teacher who had trained at the Royal School of Needlework and her wonderful portfolio. But never had the time to really take it up properly (you know, children, work, life). Now with the failing eyesight of middle age I read blogs like yours and dream of what could have been....
She's a beauty! I can understand your wish to make embroidered ribbons for a living. - The cross stitch flowers are better without the green stems.
It is all so pretty Karen... and only £10 a metre for those trims... a bargain!
Oooooh PRETTY! I love the trim!
do you embroider an area, then cut into pieces, or do you embroider each as a portion on a patch? i think they are my favouritest thing yet here :}
