Sweet Fabric:
learning

Things are progressing pretty well with the sampler.

Some of these will certainly be added to my stitching "vocab".

I love...
up & down blanket stitch
pekinese stitch
feather stitch
chevron stitch
& open cretan stitch

with practice I think I'll like...
cable chain
knotted buttonhole

This certainly has been slow going. I was unpicking lots & then of course realised that isn't really the aim of the exercise. This isn't about perfect it's about practice.

Just goes to show if you stare at something long enough you'll figure it out.

Hooray! What do you think about a cuff edged like this?

Was the best excursion ever (& that includes the zoo when I was in Prep)!

I loved every minute of the tour & demonstration.

My dad owned a printing business when we were kids & the smells were just like I remember the factory at Commercial Road.

Gem & Pip have some wonderful photos.
