YOU CHOOSE 08/23

 

First Saturday of August means that I'd like to post about a topic chosen by our stitching friends. This SAL is run by Jo from Serendipitous Stitching, it's about what you want to see on the blog. 

This month's topic is : Fairies

First came this cross stitched pattern from a spanish stitching magazine las Labores de Ana (a gift from Sheryl).

This darling was made in felt during a half-day DIY course in a shop which has unfortunately since closed.

I will end this post with a new project I could call "sea fairies"

Looking on the net for DIY stitching, sewing...

for my Tour de France 2023  on seas, ocean and rivers

I found a picture of lovely small characters made with carded wool

I had some in my stash I bought after DD3 learned about it during an autumn primary school class in the countryside

I needed some big shells and Cabourg's beach has been

generous with me 

The project is to make a small character with a wood head

hair and body in wool and maybe a hat

I'll add some metallic threads, glitter, pearl, sequins,

charms or small shells.

Here are my three WIP
