For centuries women have used cloth as a tool of comfort and as an expression of beauty within their homes. Creating cloth for warmth, cloth for shelter, our female predecessors embellished these linens with hand stitch using laborious and time consuming techniques thereby enhancing the functional beauty of objects which enveloped and protected their families. Inspired by these women I hope my creations pay tribute to and recognise the devotion expressed in cloth by our female ancestors .

Hexagons, hand embroidery and sequins.

 



Progress with this little drawstring pouch.

Patchwork edged with running stitch, French knots added around the hexagons shapes and bullion knots with sequins as a finishing touch. 

I will now embroider around the outer edge of the pouch before embellishing and adding the lining.
