A random moment of a possible...request?
Mar. 31st, 2011 04:21 pmA surprise for a pregnant friend I'm going to make a textured teething fabric book for her inbound daughter.
Which is basically me using a LOT of natural cotton embroidery floss and denim.
However, I'd like to do something a little different each page. Stimulate the kidlet's senses a bit.
SO.
Friendlist. Go here and select 3 stitches for one page, with a one-word item theme for the image that'll be built out of the stitches.(example: reverse chain, long-arm cross-stitch, boullion worm. Keyword: Hat 'This is Cricket's Hat'). I'd like to get about 8-10 pages. Who knows, maybe more.
The object of this exercise is to both make a great cloth book for a kid, and for ME to get a little extra motivation to learn some new stitches for my own bag of tricks.
HAVE AT INTERNET.
Sidenote: Running stitch and backstitches will be used to make borders for some parts and the lettering.
