Plus, she makes little videos that compliment what she teaches: https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/204350901818887195/<br /><br />If you make anything, please share it with me!

That means a lot :) I've been really trying to up my game with my photography, and this little 'shoot' incorporated things I've learnt from looking at what other people do (like Blacksburg Belle). It was so much fun! The neighbour's cat turning up was like the icing on the cake. <br />The gorgeous sunflowers were a gift from a bride whose dress I altered recently, and the little cart pincushion was a gift from my Mum back in New Zealand. I think it's made of Fimo, with vintage kimono silk. The apron is a cotton linen from Fabricland. It has a very nice feel. I made a couple of these last year, one for a play and one for me. The apron design in based on one Emma Thompson wears in 'Sense and Sensibility'.<br />I'm making the entire old duvet cover into hexies so that I can make a quilt for myself to curl up in. The edges will have gaps between hexies, into which I might put pieces of lace, like cobwebs. It will evolve as I go, anyway :)<br /><br />xx VVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801710750692443106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122669221566554739.post-7865329732782631152015-08-08T14:05:04.364-07:002015-08-08T14:05:04.364-07:00so pretty!

Lovely touches. I am in love with your apron! What kind of fabric is that, a linen? It's looks delish! I love the way it seems to "move" <br /><br />I also think it's such a great idea to leave the gaps in the patchwork and put in some embloidery. It's just perfect for this apron! Nice, nice job!!<br /><br />xoxoxo<br />Nancy<br />p.s. That little pincushion is adorable! Did you make that? ♡Everydaynaseehahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06005985562239185993noreply@blogger.com
