I virtually had a full day doing my course work yesterday. Virtually, except for taking the dog out, going off at some many tangents as we women do. I went upstairs to find some threads and came down an hour later after going through a pile of magazines ( all craft related), getting the hoover out and tidying round the living room.
Today was about getting used to my sewing machine, stitching with iron-on vilene on paper and more design work.
I need to practice a lot lot more on my machine and learn about tension, what threads and needles to use and to do more freestyle embroidery.
But I am pleased with what I've achieved.
You can see more pictures of my course work over here on my flickr page.
Practice makes perfect and it's looking pretty good to me Lynn. :-)

Ooh, what pretty stitches your machine makes Lynn :D My mini machine goes forwards and only forwards, haha. Your Mini Pinny is very pretty. What is Vilene? Mo :0) xx
ReplyDeleteI love your mini pinny, the lace on it is just gorgeous - I have a thing for lace at the moment.... Don't forget I have some of your craft magazines too, which I will bring back when we visit in February. Hugs, Anne x
