This is how my damp stretching board looked when I went to bed last night....I stood on a chair to take this picture for you....from a great height!
and this is how they look today, removed from the board all pristine and gorgeous. In the last picture you can see how the stretching has untwisted the wraps....phew. You may be surprised to hear that it will be at least a week until I get my muslin thingy finished. That's because I have decided I want to buy some new cotton for the lining. I do have some but I want new. If that doesn't make sense I'm sorry, it's just me being fussy but now it's in my head I have to do it.
The other things on the board are my bumpy sample which I don't like....do you remember that? and the final piece of the puzzle which is my latest wrapping cloth. That can now be joined, backed, titivated and sent off to the person it is going to be a belated Christmas gift for...my baby brother.
I have been thinking about the ''colour in my wrapping cloth'' conversation too. Thanks for all your input on that and I have decided...not definitely but it's a thought, that I may create my own colour to use in it. By that I mean I may embroider some cloth in traditional, colourful design to then cut up and use in my next cloth. Does that sound like a good plan? I think so....
