Category: Sewing
Type of item: Home Decor
For: Home
Style: Mod
Materials
Hand-dyed batik, Fuse & Stitch stabilizer, various threads, flat ribbon yarns & silk ribbons
What was your inspiration?
The Craftsy instruction and samples, plus the colorful fabric I chose, which reminds me of a sunset. Also the novelty flat wide ribbon I used inspired me to mimic its distinctive weave with a similar looking decorative stitch.
What are you most proud of?
I'm proud of stacking stitches, first couching the 7 mm wide silk ribbon with a ladder stitch, and then stitching over that with a variegated thread deco stitch pattern. I also found that a wide ribbon type alpaca yarn I couched looked a little dull so I satin-stitched down the center with 60 wt. poly thread whose variegated colors remind me of tiny beads.
