Still, when I construct with it, I’ll learn what I need to learn about finishing The Thing that’s made out of this particular fabric.Ĭan I incorporate beads in a way that won’t look cluttered? Do even the 15/0 beads look too big in the space? It’s an off-cut piece that has some marks on it. It’s also in my natural linen fabric sampler pack (out of stock at the moment, sorry!).īut the fabric is just a scrap, really. I also used a very long scrap piece for this 2021 sampler project.
I used it on this monogram, I used it on these strawberries here and these daisies here. I’m using the fabric I intend to use for the project – it’s Manuscript Vellum, a linen I’ve grown to love. I’m working with something akin to it, sketched free-hand onto my fabric. Instead, I’m embroidering small parts that will give me the answers I’m looking for, and then I’m going to construct the thing in its experimental-and-partially-embroidered state, to make sure it comes together the way I have it in mind.Īt this point, I’m not even working with the real design. This is what I’m doing this week: I’m not embroidering the entire thing. I also know that the thing that I want to make has to be constructed. I don’t know if I want to stitch with one strand of floss or two.īut I do know that I plan to incorporate some wool thread and some silk (not great quantities of each) along with standard cotton threads, some bead embellishment, perhaps a charm or two, and that there’s not a lot of space to do all that in. But not a Huge Project.Īnd I know that I want to use beads on it. It’s been floating around in my head for a while, and it’s working its way out now. Thread weight, bead size, embellishment size, stitch choice, colors, densities – all these things have to be taken into account when you’re planning a project, especially if you’re planning it to fit within certain parameters.įor example, I’ve got a small project in mind.
Say you have a project in your head, and you know exactly what you want it to look like, and you know exactly what kind of threads and embellishments you want to incorporate on it, but you’re not exactly sure if it will all work the way you want it to.
