Samples of each area of design
Flower meadow 1. Machine and hand stitched.
Flower meadow 2. Stamped and machine embroidered with cable stitch.
Some hand embroidery, then padded.
Flower meadow 3. Machine embroidered with cable stitch,
machine-made cords and rouleaux. Flowers and leaves
embroidered on dissolvable fabric and stitched on.
'Dead' ground with no vegetation. Machined tights,
gathered and manipulated.
Clouds 1. Cable-stitched and whip-stitched.
Clouds 2. Cable-stitched and zig-zag.
Clouds 3. Synthetic fabric, burnt edges and heated
underneath to make bubbles.
Clouds 4. Cable-stitched and zig-zag, and padded.
Butterfly 1. Machined onto dissolvable fabric. I forgot that you
have to machine onto a grid, and it came apart when I unpinned it.
I had to patch it up, which is why it's not symmetrical.
Butterfly 2. Machined onto dissolvable fabric. It came out
nice and lacey, if not completely symmetrical.
Butterfly 3. Machined onto dissolvable fabric. It's so long
since I did this that I can't remember how I made the cords
at the bottom. But I like them (and hope you do, too!).
Butterfly 4. Machined onto fine, see-through fabric. This was
much easier than the dissolvable fabric, and is therefore the
most successful. But the see-through quality of the finished
product can be very attractive.
