Hand-embroidered and handmade tote bag: more info on the blog.

I made this hand embroidered pillow as a birthday present for my Mother a few years ago. I mostly used roman couching, stem stitch, satin stich and split stich. It took at least 200 hours but I was really pleased with the result. It was my first major foray into embroidery.

How about these for novelty stocking fillers.

I have a commission to do another one a bit like this...

Verso of silk embroidered postcard (140mm x 89mm) made in France and addressed to Miss Gwen Nevin, Strathalbyn, South Australia.

A small (78mm x 45mm) card, verso here photographed below, that apparently accompanied the larger card is 'from Harold'.

Miss Gwendoline Annie Nevin was born in Burra, South Australia, on 30 October 1900.

The identity of Harold is unknown

This is an example of a custom embroidered fleece jacket.

This is a VINTAGE Japanese Kurotomesode. Kurotomesode are formal kimono for married women. Nowadays they are mostly worn by the mother of the bride at weddings. This piece likely originates in the Showa Period (1926 - 1989). It displays a pattern of embroidered fans and various florals.

I have inspected this kimono in detail and there is minimal damage as can be seen in the photos above. There are some faint scuffs on the exterior, some faint patina and a small pull to the embroidery. Overall I would rate this kimono in excellent vintage condition. This kimono is 100% silk.

MEASUREMENTS:

Length: 153cm

Arm Span: 124cm

Width Across Back: 59cm

Total Width of Skirt: 133cm

Sleeve Drop: 48.5cm

SIZING

If you are unsure of how to interpret the kimono's size it is important to know that the length (collar - hem) should be approximately 10cm longer to 10cm shorter than the wearer's overall height (longer is better). This is because the excess length will be folded up at the waist. Meanwhile, the skirt should wrap around the hips a full 1.5 times. The armspan should also reach wrist to wrist on the wearer. In this case, the kimono will ideally fit a woman about 143cm (4'8") - 163cm (5'4") tall, with hips about 89cm (35") around. There is some give and take in these measurements though.

After seeing Katie Cupcake's stitched note on the Feeling Stitchy blog I decided to try to make my own version. The tattoo motif is from Jenny Hart's Stitch It Kit, the notebook paper, I just traced over the flip side of a piece of notebook paper using a heat transfer pencil. I haven't done a lot of embroidery, I'm pretty much a cross stitcher but this was a fun project. I just get frustrated when my stitches go all wonky. I also have the worst lighting in the world, my fabric is more white than tan.

A beautiful hand embroidered Indian elephant, it will brighten any room of your house!

Made with love using organic beige felt. Many different brightly coloured cotton threads have been used to create ornate designs on the elephant's front. It has been finished with coloured beads and sequins.

The tail and loop used to hang the elephant is made from velvet cord ribbon and the back of the elephant is plain beige felt.

PLEASE NOTE: This piece has been used as a sample piece and is in perfect condition apart from small pen mark on the back of the elephant.

All my art pieces are 'one off designs', as I often use vintage pieces of fabric, beads or lace. So please contact me for more sizes and colour options or if you want me to personalise an item.

Size: main body: 6" by 5", loop length: 3 and half".

I made this cross stitch embroider over 10 years ago. Never knew exactly what I was going to do with it … but never forgot about it. I am quite happy now with my framing option.
