A glimpse for you of what is happening in embroidery school. At the moment we are playing with cutwork, mixing it with hexagons, layering cloth and stitch in little cut away windows. Very soon we will be moving on to pockets, creating small, soft, embroidered pockets using our favourite processes from sampling.
The first few weeks of class were all about cross stitch, gingham, silk, bullion loops , a drawstring pouch, buttons, pin pillows, toggles....those pieces, (at least in my house) are still in progress.
My cutwork pocket, or pockets if I get chance to make more than one, they will also have accessories, a pillow perhaps and buttons. There will definitely be buttons.
