Reverses, backs untamed stitching.
I like a reverse, it's evidence of my hand and my process.
Some of you however can't bear to look at the back of your work.
That's ok. We are all different.
An idea of how to cover that reverse which is also another opportunity to embellish.
It's a win win.

Lace cloth. Two minutes.
If you would like to learn with me, please consider joining my monthly subscription learning programme.
You can read about that here.
Following on from my last but one post I have put another surface together to embroider before attaching it to the main piece.
A paper surface to embellish.
A short video, the process of composition.
This morning has been about measuring and cutting ribbon for tying these overlays to the reverse of my pages.
If you missed it, I speak about the overlays here.
Yesterday I posted a very short video, just a little chat about this work and a paper piece I am also working on.
I have posted it again today.
Have a great Saturday x
Today, a little chat about my embroidery plans....
I've been speaking a lot about 'wrapping cloths' lately, namely unfinished wrapping cloths.
Today I'm speaking about unfinshed design work, in notebooks.
One of these pages in particular is screaming at me to get finished.
The post today is a follow on from this one where I speak about unfinished wrapping cloths.
A short video about inserting pockets into seams.
I love pockets.
My new subscription learning programme is going really well and we have our first live Zoom session this coming Monday.
It is taking place at 7pm UK time so covers most time zones.
If you'd like to read more just go here.
A few days ago I mentioned my unfinished wrapping cloths.
Yesterday I told you I had found another one!
Today I discuss the progression of those in a video chat. One new piece was pinned......now that's what I call progress ha ha.
My days at the moment are consumed by baby cuddles. (see yesterdays post!)
I will try and put him down for a few minutes and actually do some sewing but I can't promise.
A little hand stitch video for you today.
I'm having a sleepover with a two year old this weekend so it'll be more about stories and jigsaw puzzles than embroidery but it will definitely be fun.
Have a lovely weekend and I will see you on Monday.
Apart from nine French knots the piece I showed you here is now finished.
I was impatient to add the patchwork edge so one side of that is now attached although I don't have any other strips ready yet to finish the other three sides.
If you remember, I now have nine seven inch embroidered squares. Number ten will be put together later today and the patchworking will also continue.
