Sunbonnet Sue has lost her bonnet - it blew out to sea when she was on-board a cruise ship.
Sue's Chopstick Stitch dress took a long time to stitch. I marked the even weave fabric with erasable pen as there were no holes or grid in the weave to guide me. I like how the unevenness in the pattern make the dress flutter in the wind.
As for the life buoy, well the Raised Daisy Stitch is a real glutton, gobbling up both thread and time.
Personally I love Sue's stylish hair, the Feathered Zig-zag Stitch is upside down, but looks great as windswept hair. Thank you, Rachel for this stitch.
A linear stitch was needed for the railing and I was happy to have the Ainu Running Stitch, Ieshininninu Chieshirokochu for that.
Roll Chain Stitch became a belt.
Outlines for Sue's body and dress, and the shoes, were made with Stem Stitch.
Very creative!
ReplyDeleteO yes, chopstick stitch is perfect for her dress. Love how you used your stitches.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, yes! I'd never thought of it for hair, but it looks like windswept corkscrew ringlets!
ReplyDeleteShe's lovely and we can see her hair without the bonnet.
ReplyDeleteGood idea to mark the grid. The dress is amazing. Hope Sue has a great trip.
ReplyDeleteGreat stitching! Lovely windswept action too. The beginning of fall is often a good time for a cruise, so romantic!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't think of a better comments than those before me. Your imagination is great and the depiction of Sue perfect. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou can really see the wind whipping through Sue's hair and dress! Just beautiful!
