Still working on my design/work book for my Alchemy online course I made this sheet by painting a piece of copy paper with black ink then applying bleach with a cork.
Next I applied iron-on vilene to the back of the paper and machine stitched into it. I also cut out shapes and inlaid fabric. As usual my black fineliner pen came into play and I drew on stitch marks to resemble buttons. I also added some small wooden buttons.
With the paper pieces I cut out I collaged them onto the page.
I did'nt enjoy the machine stitching onto paper. I think I need more practise.
Next up I had a look at a great book by Mandy Shaw "Stitch With Love".
It demonstrates 11 simple handstitches showing both the left handed way (me) and right handed.
