This dress is just lovely when finished and has a great fit, but it is not a beginner's pattern. Do not be fold by it being a Threads Collection pattern with the tagline, "Step by step to sewing success!" The directions on the pattern are no more clear than normal sewing patterns and you must know how to do things like darts, zippers, slipstitching, gathers, sleeves, etc. in order to successfully do this pattern. I would recommend this pattern if you're at least an intermediate sewer.
Using one of Lucinda's beautiful photos, here is the blog button for the Traveling Threads Quilting Bee.
If you have a blogspot/blogger blog, here's how to add this little button to your sidebar:
1. when you're on the blogger dashboard, click on "Layout" for your blog.
2. Then, when you see the layout for your blog, click on "Add a Gadget"
3. Click the "Picture" gadget.
4. Enter this address as the link: www.flickr.com/groups/1152665@N22/
5. Enter this address as a picture from the web: farm4.static.flickr.com/3626/3574098149_fafd7f428b.jpg?v=0 and check the box for "shrink to fit"
6. Now the button is on your blog at the top of your sidebar. You can move it around on your sidebar by just dragging it where you want it.
Installation in the stairwell, made in conjunction with the exhibition Threads of Feeling at the Foundling Museum. All the ribbons came from V V Rouleaux, the ribbon shop in Marylebone.
About the exhibition: "Threads of Feeling will showcase fabrics never shown before to illustrate the moment of parting as mothers left their babies at the original Foundling Hospital, which continues today as the children’s charity Coram.
"In the cases of more than 4,000 babies left between 1741 and 1760, a small object or token, usually a piece of fabric, was kept as an identifying record. The fabric was either provided by the mother or cut from the child’s clothing by the hospital's nurses. Attached to registration forms and bound up into ledgers, these pieces of fabric form the largest collection of everyday textiles surviving in Britain from the 18th Century."
I picked these colors to embroider the sleeve for my new phone. The thread name is Farao Egipcio. It's a twisted 2-ply thread. I've never heard of this thread before!
Size 10 thread, DMC Cebelia for the solid blue, Royale's Ocean for the variegated. This is only 12.75", and it should be larger...gotta work on those double-crochets--they should be taller than that. This project really was an experiment to see if I could find a pattern that would cooperate with variegated thread instead of fighting with it.
This variegated embroidery floss is a gorgeous mix of holiday greens and reds - ThreadworX 1085 Christmas Time. This photo shows how two strands of this floss look stitched on 14 count Aida.
Threads from the original selection that did not make the cut. I still like these together and so I did a photo to remember before they go back in the boxes.
An accident waiting to happen. Never let your tires wear as much as this. You can see the bare thread of fibres.
Luckily this got fixed really well and professionally by www.motorbandenserviceamstelveen.nl
These threads made the cut. Used 15 different threads. Filled all the holes. Should have looked at Karen's work again before starting. Thought every hole needed to be used and also was stressing because there were gaps between each one. The paper I'm using is quite thick.
