Not stopping to consider that haven't tried to embroider anything for many many years I tried to disguise my lack of embroidery skills by throwing in a bit of applique and alot of hoping for the best!
I remember being told once that the back should be as neat as the front...
Thankfully the front is a bit neater!
I used the dots on the fabric as a guide to where to plonk my flowers...
And I made into a button brooch to attach to this spring flowers purse:
The swap involved 6 embroidered buttons, my last button, the smallest of the 6 became the centre of a felt flower brooch...
Which I decided I would present on a gift card for my lovely swap partner Robina.
Thank you feeling stitchy and Robina for such a fun swap x
aww... you did a cupcake ! love it !
ReplyDeleteI think your embroidery is looking pretty good :-)
ReplyDeleteI too haven't done any for ages, prob since I was a child! And I think mine must look worse than yours from the back lol.
I think your swap partner will be very happy with what you have made :-)

Girl, you really need to share some of your talent with me! I love all those sweet buttons you embroidered! And you can't tell that you haven't been embroidering for a while! Looks wonderful to me!!!
