I’ve take a little break from crochet. Don’t worry it is not a long break: it’s just my little finger really hurts from crocheting too much over the last few weeks. This break has given me the perfect excuse for indulging in fabric crafting. I thought that I would make the holly wreath, which I bought at Harrogate, to get ready for Christmas. After reading, re-reading and re-reading, the instructions I finally got started. Please bear-in-mind that this is the first time I have ever crafted anything like this. I managed to workout, with a little practice and advice from I, how to machine-stitch curves. This really wasn’t as difficult as I imagined. I was ready to go. This is where I ‘ve got to…
I need to spend a happy few (lots) of hours hand stitching
the detail onto the leaves, then join them together to make a
wreath/garland. I really think that they
might be ready for Christmas.
While I had the fabric and sewing stuff out, I thought that I’d make the cute festive robin badge, which featured in Mollie Makes, issue twenty-one…
The fabulously talented Debbie Greenway, gave really great instructions
and templates to make your life easier when making these. I am quite chuffed with how mine turned out…
Though I do think I need to practice covering buttons, so
that I get a smoother finish. Tis a hard life!
Happy crafting! x
