Friday Revision Homework - Stitches 366 - 370

If one stitch is called Balloon Stitch and another Whipped Stem, it is easy to come up with a design idea for this Sunbonnet Sue stitch sampler - child's play. 

Sunbonnet Sue is about 10 or 11 years old and enjoys her new striped hula hoop and the quaint balloons. One is like a woven rose, while the two others are square-ish and could be taken for kites...

The Colcha Stitch made a very nice stretchy top that clings to Sue's skinny body. What happened to her puppy fat? 

The same stitch made beautiful hair and a ponytail. The rest of the hair was woven into a Spider's Web bun.

 I quite like the Single Wave Stitch for her skirt. The waves make the skirt swing.








Stem Stitch and Straight Stitch were used for the outlines, socks and shoes.
