CHENILLE WORK - BACK TO STITCHING AT LAST
At last I have found some time to stitch. I have been wanting to do some chenille work for some time and today I managed to make a start. This particular technique is great for using fabrics that you don't like so much. You know, things you bought in a sale, thought you would use. These fabrics pictured are some that I am really tired of.
I chose 4 diferent pieces of fabric (I will use one twice).
The green one is for the top and the red is next. I used a second piece of the red as the last layer in the sandwich: each piece except the last is facing up.
I pinned the five layers together ready to stitch.
I attached the walking foot
to my machine - this has been set aside because I have been putting a zip in a bag and had to use the zipper foot.
After stitching around the edges the pins came out and I marked diagonal lines on the top of the fabric, ready to stitch.
Now I have to make lunch so will show more of this later.
I also have some bits and bobs in dye at present. Plenty to enjoy.

Oh Dianne i was getting exciting to see what was next and now your having lunch....so not fair how dare you leave us in limbo...lol...hope u enjoyed your lunch really and cant wait to see the next stage xx
I will come back to have a look too. You never know how this comes out, depending on colours and type of fabrics. See you later!
Oh I am looking forward to more of this Dian, want to see what you are doing here. Stitching is rudimentary for me, so any elaborate stitching is
always of interest. I like this layering....xox Corrine
I haven't heard of this....sounds very interesting, and I'll be back to see more.
