I love the colors in this bag. I appliqued on a red heart. The white rabbit in the corner is like a signature.
Linen tied with linenthread.....I find it a good thread to work with as linen, when getting wet, shrinks, and then the tied cloth becomes even more tight....
This is the first time i dye pure linen cloth. It should be more difficult to dye linen or other cellulose fibres than dyeing wool and silk....gues it is because you have to do some more mordanting (tannin and alum) instead of only alum when dyeing wool....
But i find it nice also to dye linen and cotton or mix of linen and cotton....and I do buy a lot of linen for making paintings...so I do have a lot of it....
a bit of comfort for cold toes in the kitchen! all washed up and rumply, and in the mail today!
also... i say this every time, but the thrill of pulling a quilt from the dryer? never. gets. old. :)
...tablecloth, as we toured Kiel Harbor and sailed through the North Sea Canal on the Sidewheeler Freya for the day...
a birch-tree branch with additions: little linen leaves sewn by hand.
inspired by 'shim and sons' blog quite a while ago.
Yesterday i went to a quiltshow in Denmark and found this wonderful box with dyed and printed linen.
I love the buttons of this coat! The whole inspiration for this piece started with the buttons actually. I wanted to make something that used them and this is the result.
Day 72/366: A disused linen store in the grounds of the holiday camp on the Isle of Wight. Processed in Enlight and Camera+
spring/summer, casual, loose fitting, brown linen dress with pockets and a neckline detail. i'm happy wearing it. today i teamed it with grey skinny jeans and a khaki green v neck jumper, fun and all ok
it's a pattern i've made before www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDFRlF_yEtA but with changes
1. the original round neck altered to have a front v neck opening detail
2. each seam has a 'turn and edge' finish www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWaI7YUX8jk
the sides of each seam were folded under and machined rather than leaving edged with zig zag stitching. neater, easier for ironing and washing. ok for a light to medium weight fabric
3. bodice longer
4. skirt length longer
hong kong finish to the neckline
a strip of the same brown linen fabric cut on the bias was attached (instructions shown on the dress/top video)
the colour of the brown dress is much deeper than shown in the photo
3 metres brown linen £7 per metre width 1m 50cm (some leftover for another project)
next dress to be made is a casual loose fitting floral viscose, fabric showing in the centre foreground
Top and Dress
(i'm using this dress pattern for my spring/summer dress)
