I saw this on Facebook and now I can't find the source. Just look closely at each little booth. I cannot believe the detail and realism show in this little diorama. Amazing.
OK, now back to sewing. Small projects again. Two more kitchen towels in a Fall theme. I picked up this Thanksgiving theme fabric at Joann's the other day. Instead of pinning the large ric-rac I decided to try the glue basting method. I don't have the fine tip recommended by Sharon Shamber so I carfully put little dots on the fabric. After the glue I pressed the panel and the trim with a dry iron. This dries the glue and I had a very stable stitching surface. No lumps or bumps from pins. (((yeah)))
I secured the trim with a simple 2.0 straight stitch. I did use my guide beam to keep my stitching line straight. The panel and the ric-rac are attached at the same time.
Another example. Press the panel edges in 1/2 inch, Put a few drops of glue on the top, bottom and sides to secure the panel. Then secure the trim with the glue. Press dry. Sew.
Towel number one secured on the hanger.
Halloween doll, sort of looks demonic in photo's.
The panel is a piece of left over fabric from an apron project.
Conclusion:
- Towels are good surfaces for embellishment.
- I like the glue basting method, I am looking for the fine tips for the glue bottle.
- There are many more towels.....
- A local retailer has ordered the large ric-rac for her stock. More colors, more ideas, more embellishment.
