a lot of mileage out of this finishing style...not to mention my money's worth from the wavy blade.
After having such success with Fresh Fallen Snow, I thought I'd use the same method to finish a couple more large ornaments.
First is 'Joy' by Little by Little Design Company.
I put a piece of batting between the stitching and the felt to add some thickness.
I used a herringbone stitch around the edge and the same silks it's stitched in to make a piece of cording.
And, since I was on such a roll, I did the same with 'Naughty or Nice' by Lizzie Kate.
I used a little stitch that doesn't show. It's a straight stitch that goes over and catches the stitched piece every other stitch.
I'm pretty sure everyone can manage this finish. Give it a go and see....

You know, I bought the wavy blade ages ago. I should give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI really, really like the white background you used on the Joy piece! Both of them look great--your tree is going to be brimming with handstitched ornaments come December :)
ReplyDeleteTwo more great finishes!
