ETAPE / STAGE 13/2

 

MJJ39 JEUDI (MERCREDI) DU JUNK JOURNAL

Due to the Tour de France 7 and the second post linked to the stage on Thursdays,

I'm giving you my last updates about Junk Journaling on this Wednesday evening.

Many great JJ have lovely pages with special edges with collages (stamps, stickers, tickets...) beads, ribbons...

Of course I'd love to add some to my JJs

Sewing theme

One more edge pocket made with a black and white fabric.

Ancient Egypt theme

I wanted to do something with this green wool with yellow and red spots

a simple blanketstitch on the edge

The other idea was to sew beads. I have chosen seven different shades of green and added pale yellow and a shiny gold.

I was ready to tell you "see you in a few months when I'm done" but it goes quickly and I think next week I show you the finish!

I have kept some pages of magazine, adds for DIY shows, on one of them there was a bag I'm going to use for a pocket.

Choice of a ribbon for the handles, a small hook made with a metallic pink brad, a pink page to glue the image after reinforced it with light cardboard.

I had to find a way to show my origami camels, then I thought some days ago that sand dunes would be perfect.

Check the colours of my recent cardboard purchase and put together some yellow, orange, grey to cut the dunes after making a pattern

I might have to make some other camels in very thin paper as the origami folding result to a thickness that won't do maybe.

Another idea was to put a palmtree (I made two in felt for Capucine and Soline but mine will be in crepe paper).

Easy, fun and quickly made, wish I could sit under it!

Beaucoup de joie à l'occasion de ces créations pour mes JJ : 

- de nouvelles bordures en laine, en perles de rocaille, en tissu

- une pochette "sac"

- un paysage de dunes ainsi qu'un joli palmier.

FULLY FINISHED GALLERY 08/26

  

It's the 10th of this month and Rachel from "Ten Hour Stitcher"

used to welcome us and our Fully Finished achievements.

Her blog is on pause but I want to keep this event as a special day welcoming my fully finished projects.

I'm far from my goals in sewing, the heatwaves have had a negative impact on my effectiveness, no progress on dresses. But I feel better about small projects hand sewed.

I needed a neck pouch for my phone (Nanny has no jean's pocket!) to hold it when I'm in the garden or listening podcasts when I'm busy at home cleaning.

And since I have seen those little cosy cushions to put phones on I wanted one asap. Best part of the project, open my pieces of fabric boxes and take my time to chose the pattern I'm gonna use.

It's the same pattern as for a "berlingot" pocket, with one longer side for the space that'll receive the phone. I have added some felt in the base and a padded edge to hold it in place.

Ces canicules successives ne me donnent pas trop d'allant pour coudre et je suis en retard sur la finition de mes robes. Mais je me sens plus à l'aise avec des projets plus petits. 

J'avais besoin d'une pochette tour de cou pour mon téléphone (pas de poche de jean) ainsi je peux me ballader dans le jardin ou vaquer à mes occupations en écoutant mes podcasts.

Et puis j'ai aussi trouvé très sympa ces petits coussins repose téléphone, donc voici mes réalisations. La meilleure part du projet étant choisir les motifs des tissus parmi tous mes coupons !

I have linked this stage with    medieval music

J'ai choisi d'associer cette étape à   la musique médiévale

When I was working one of my colleague was named : Mr Lécuyer meaning squire, another one named : Mr Chatelain meaning lord of the manor, as I'm named Mrs Knight I thought we could form a medieval music band.

I like how some stitchers can add music to the Bayeux Tapestry...
