WIPW - Cropping

There are several progresses to report in today's Work In Progress Wednesday report.


Mandala

I re-stitched the Buttonhole edge of the first heart, then stitched the other three appliqued hearts with the same Buttonhole edge.


Next I will work on the circle in the centre.


Kumihimo Braiding

I completed the Kumihimo braid and attached it to my reading (stitching) glasses.

 I kept the tassels on. They reminded me of the tassels on girls' bicycle handles in the 70's. If I feel they are in the way, I will cover them up.



Birthday Card

I wanted to make another birthday card. Just like last time I used felt to make a flower, but the background fabric was a scrap of cotton with heat transfer foil on it.



Cropping

To beat the heat of Tokyo, I cropped a pair of summer trousers. What to do with the remnants? Well, Hexablooms of course!


Hexablooms

I cut lots of new squares of fabric, including the part that was left after cropping the trousers, see above. I then assembled ten new hexablooms.


In total, I now have 60 hexagon flowers.

  3. You have been very productive! Your braid is beautiful!
    I'm afraid I've been vacationing, but I've had a little time for planning.
    And your Mandala work is stunning!

  4. So many happy projects! My hubby gave me a bicycle for my birthday many years ago. He put tassels on the handles as the wrapping. I left them on for a long time. He was a bit embarrassed by that but all the little girls we rode passed loved them.
