Little Drawers

I've probably mentioned before that I like little drawers so I thought I would show you these. I've had them a few years now, and although they are not the best quality I like them and they are very useful too.

My machine embroidery threads are kept in some of the drawers.

And beading threads in another.

The larger drawers at the bottom look untidy so I didn't take photos of them, but they are full of beads, jewellery and trinkets.

Take a Stitch Tuesday

Another page for my fabric journal. The stitch this week is couching and I have couched threads down with ribbon yarn and couched ribbon yarn darn with threads. I have used the regular style of couching around the rectangular piece of painted paper and the green ribbon. I have also couched ribbon yarn down with herringbone stitch and feather stitch. To hold the upcycled metal ring in place I have used detached chain stitch and buttonhole stitch. The background fabric was painted.

TAST 8 and Vintage Threads

Take a Stitch Tuesday - this week we are doing chain stitch. It is a simple stitch so this time I have kept the page for my fabric journal fairly simple. There is a piece of vintage fabric, some painted paper, dyed lace and a needle felted flower. This page was attached to another page with blanket stitch.

Below are some vintage threads that I bought at an Embroiderers Guild meeting, I love the cards that the thread is wrapped around.
