A Little Stitchery PhotoStory

6/25/2013

I got a new phone last week (squee!) and it has a great camera, so I thought I'd have some fun with my photos.

The light in my laundry room (where I was ironing) is very yellow, so I was playing with filters via Flickr and these old timey wimey ones were too fun not to use.

So here's an overly-processed photo story of my little weekend sewing projects.
Picture

Dramatic shot of my scissors and pins.
Picture

Trimmed out my ornaments.  And ironed them.
Picture

Found a pile of variegated blue hemp cord.
Picture

Tie little loops with said cord.
Picture

Like so.
Picture

And again.
Picture

Pin fabric to backing fabric with the loop sandwiched inside, knot inside, and pin in place. I used a pre-quilted fabric for the backs of these so they'd have a little puffiness to them without having to stuff them.
Picture

Pin like so.
Picture

Stitch! You can, of course, do this by hand or machine. Don't run over your pins (or fingers)!
Picture

I used a cute little star stitch.
Picture

And the back.
Picture

Trim with pinking shears.

Don't forget to go carefully around the loops!
Picture

And the backs.

I finished these by spraying them with "Stiffen Stuff" to keep them from fraying.
Picture

Unrelated pin-work I snapped a photo of.
Picture

Ironing my police box fabric. As you can see, I just use a towel on my washing machine instead of an ironing board. Do what works!
Picture

Mini police boxes.
Picture

More dramatic ironing and pinning.

More dramatic pinning.

Projects waiting to be stuffed.

The end. :)

I promise my next post will be in technicolor. (maybe)
