I have been trying to keep busy, ha ha whilst not moving much!
I have been working on the Satsuma Street design called Summers Flight....
Here is my journey..
Then I thought I could stitch some pieces of coloured fabric together for the back... By hand naturally as thee is no hope of getting any where near my sewing machine right now!
Colours I thought would go...
Stitched them by hand...
Then ironed them...
Stitched it together, slightly larger than the one the designer made...
Front...
The one the designer made...
I must admit it looks wonderful on linen... I may try another one on linen...ha ha when I can use my sewing machine.
I am happy with my attempt, it's good to try new things. As they say I have room for improvement!
Thanks for stopping by :)
Smiles to you all :)
That is beautiful Jacqui....love the colours in the backing! Good to see you are sewing away there!
