What I'm realizing is that it's much more enjoyable for me to embellish/alter fabrics rather than just sewing up the fabric as is. I think that's why I love the idea of embroidering. It's a simple way to convey a message big or small. I made this hand embroidered floral pouch because I love all things botanical and I love collecting artwork, books, and clothes with some sort of floral aspect to it. So you'll probably be seeing a lot more floral work but this time I think I'm going to use brighter colors. With this pouch I was going for more of a very feminine and sweet look : - )
You definately achieved that, it's very pretty indeed. I'm loving anything hand embroidered at the moment:)
ReplyDeleteTori, beautiful work! You are such a great embroiderer. I think the embroidery is a wonderful way to add that extra something special to the pouches.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to come up with a special occasion to buy myself one of these. They're all looking awesome Tori!

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous work. Glad you found what you really love and are working it.
ReplyDeleteNow. I just have to dust off the sewing box before I can begin to pretend I know what part of making I enjoy.
