Fancy threads

Our Daily Challenge ... I used to.

 

I used to love sewing and making clothes for myself and family. Now I rarely get the machine out ... just for mending and alterations which is not much fun.

 

For many years I was really into machine applique and I made simple tops with interesting designs stitched onto them to sell in a boutique where I lived. They sold well and I saved enough money to buy a better sewing machine which now just sits in the cupboard unused. I also have lots of left over threads which I now use only as photographic props. Today I'm featuring a couple of fancy ones which were not really a success in my opinion.

 

I still love the colours!
