I got these gorgeous Japanese embroidery books from eBay at the weekend and set to work making a couple of pillow cases. The pen still needs washing out but I’m pretty busy for a change this week and wanted to post them before the weekend. So excuse the little blue ink patches (which reminds me, a kid was showing off his invisible ink to me at school today by spraying it on the collar of another boy in the class. You can guess what happened next, can’t you?)
Repeat ten times: I will make something for someone other than myself, I will make something for someone other than myself… I want to make some little embroidered hankies for my sister and various other people but for some reason it’s stupidly difficult to find ladies hankies. Maybe I’m not looking in upmarket enough shops.
To leave you with, a picture of the girl – she’s applied to Mensa and is waiting their approval as I type,
I mean, approval is just a technicality, surely? x
I love the embroidery – which books did you get?
It’s called stitch ideas vol 5 although it was hard to choose between this and all the others!
