Just thought I would share some new products that I have been working on for the past wee while. Most are still at the drawing/research stage but I finished this little prototype yesterday. I'm thinking of launching them at my next craft fair (Ashton Lane , Glasgow on June 1st). If they go well i'll pop them into my Etsy shop over the next couple of months.
Apologies for not posting for a while, my little girl has been a full of the cold and time has just got away from me. The embroidery thread colour scheme I blogged a couple of weeks ago has been put to good use but I made the cardinal sin of not buying enough of one colour to complete the area of colour on my new piece. I need to make a trip to the haberdashery before I can post the picture of the completed work.
In the meantime here is a new colour scheme: Ice Cream Parlour Palette...
(Left to right colours are 186, 397, 159, 85, 289 all Anchor threads)
I'm working on some new embroidered jewellery which I hope to be able to post samples of this week before they go on sale. Watch this space!
Okay so not strictly part of the embroiderer's kit but lets face it, if you embroider it's highly likely that you have stitched two bits of material together at some point. It's even more likely that you will have pins in your sewing box as well.
Aren't pins just really boring? I hear you say. Well yes they are in some respects but like many other dressmaking tools you can pick up them up in a more flashier version if you so desire.
I for one like a more colourful pin in my sewing box. This is partly due to my inclination towards more fun products and partly due to safety. You see, I've lost count of the number of times I've pulled on a skirt and been jabbed by a forgotten pin. Not so easy to lose a pin with a colourful glass head on it!
So even if its only for your own safety, I suggest everyone invests in some glamorous pins...
