And my needlewoman, is she rich too ? by Titbelsoeur

 Hello everybody !

Here is my second project to meet the September challenge at The Artistic Stamper. The first one was  Is my tailor rich ? by Titbelsoeur, this one being the feminine version.

I have decorated another sardine can with the Dressmaking stamps, so that it looks the same as the masculine one, but not exactly the same !  Nevertheless, the techniques I have used are strictly the same. A focal point stamped in black on the background, then hidden when stamping the other parts, video here : Apart'thé

 

I stamped the dressmaker to a strong paper and cut it out, passed a thread between her 2 hands to be more realistic :) and then added lots of related stuff


 And here are my 2 cans together :

A Few Stitches by Christine Bedford

 

Hi everyone, Chris here, I have one more make for this month's 'A Stitch In Time’ theme at The Artistic Stamper.  

 I am staying with flowers - this time Debs Smith's Big Flowers and Quotes set. 

I used to do a lot of Needle Felting a few years ago, now it is a once in a while activity, but when I saw this big flower I just had to use it.

I started by stamping it onto a square of hessian like fabric.

I had to enlist hubby's help for some of my photos 

Next came the start of my Mug Rug - Using a variety of different greens

If you have ever done needle felting you will know it's best to keep your fingers out of the way!

Once I had everything ready I stamped the flower again so that I could see where to sew the stamens

I used a gold thread which was quite difficult to sew but worth it for the shimmery effect!

I considered blanket stitching the edges but must admit to like this fluffy finish!


Here is my Mug Rug all ready for use later!

It has been a pleasure to be here at The Artistic Stamper and to practice my stitching once again.

 Thanks for looking, Chris

Is my tailor rich ? by Titbelsoeur

 Hello everybody !

To follow our September challenge, I have filled a sardine can with sewing stuff, and I have used these stamps from the Dressmaking  collection to make the background 

   

And since I wanted my project be more masculine this time, I have stamped this man from the Men  plate, who has a little tailor look. 

Here is my finished project, you notice that I have added a lot of my stuff such as a presser foot, a spool, a piece of a pattern, and many buttons

Thank you so much for visiting, I hope I have given you some inspiration to 
participate in our

I am thrilled to have this opportunity to Guest Design for this months ‘A Stitch in Time’ Challenge.

It’s no secret that I love flowers and when I saw the Cape Daisy Trio I could see that I could sit and stitch while watching TV, as I often do.

I stamped my background fabric with the negative flower image, which I did by using different coloured inks onto the stamp.

I coloured more fabric with inktense blocks before stamping the positive image. I used metallic steel and gold coloured thread to sew in the details on the stamp and then cut them out.

My original plan was to make a journal cover but I enjoyed doing this so much I made matching pencil holder from an old coffee tin. It will remain on my balcony so that if I get any ideas while I am reading out there I have them to hand!

I made this little stitched picture using Debs Smith new smaller Feather, inked onto a painted piece of calico. and stitched onto a piece of black fabric.  Lots of mark making in the background, and glued onto a small canvas board.
