Today's work

Here's what I've been working on today. I thought I'd try to make a needle case but I've been struggling with the best method. It's really important to me that I am pleased with what I create. I would only sell something that I would be happy to buy myself. So the practice goes on and I will let you know when I created a system that I'm happy with! Got to be proud of my work. The top picture is of a butterfly broach I also made today. I had called in to hobby craft this morning and couldn't resist the Tilda fabrics! Fatal going in there haha!

Stitched broach

I love the colours of this one couldn't resist posting! I enjoyed using a bit of canvas for the word. It went through my typewriter easily.

More free motion pins / broaches

This is so much fun! I can hardly keep up with the ideas that keep coming to me. These are what I have made today. It would have been more but I have a bad back so I am pacing myself.

Free motion work

Love, love, love free motion embroidery! I am getting to now my Janome machine and all its little ways, and we are getting along quite well. It really has helped to inspire me. Bit of a neck ache tonight though. Think I've been bent over the machine for too long!

Diddly Free Motion Broaches

Think I am going to see if there is a market for these little broaches. £5 each?

Free motion fun!

I've been practicing with my new (to me) Janome sewing machine and have loved making these little pieces. Think they will become broaches, I just need to sew a pin on the back. I'm finding that free motion embroidery is really a case of practise, practise and more practise! Loving the results now though!

Cards- the revolution!

I've never much been interested in making cards, but I've come to realise they are just little pieces of art! Here are a few that I have LOVED making the last few days. Think I might see if they sell, although it will be hard to say goodbye!
