A Gold thread Bag Moth today.

 

 

I have just taken a leap into the 21st century and purchased a tablet and set up an instagram page. it is called @dixeysoul, same as this blog, I can't cope with to many names!! So if you are on instagram please take a look. This blog will always have my class details etc, the instagram will be mostly just pictures of my work, hoping to inspire some young embroiderers. Lets see what 2016 brings!

 



bag moths 96 and 97

Both my children hate the feel of labels in their clothes, so as soon as we get anything to wear I have to cut the label out, this bag moth has the labels from a new T shirt ( well new from the op shop!)

A fabric twist from the selvedge side of some Kaffe fabric.

95/100 bag moths

This bag moth is made from the spiral binding of an old calendar, I always take the wire off so we can put the pages in the recycling bin. I just had to add some silver thread to make is sparkle.

I love this fabric, the blue spots were perfect to add some yellow stitching.

another catch up

Trying to do a 100 day project over Christmas and summer holidays is not a very good idea, I didn't work that out when I started on the 1st of October.
So I had a catch up day today and made 5 bag moths. I am so close to finishing I didn't want to just stop because I had missed a few, so here they are. I am  back home now so back to one a day until I get to 100.
