The small pieces i've been working on this week for today's shop update have been inspired by the colour in the garden- especially pink. The tangle of poppies in the vegetable garden have nearly finished flowering, and this papery-thin baby poppy was the only one left this morning.
I had a few small remnants of Nani Iro fabric left over from the top I made on the weekend and it was in the perfect shape for a pencil case. I used the sashiko-quilting idea on it as the cotton itself was too fine. So I applied running stitches along the fabric, with a piece of heavier wool material behind it. The result is a soft, padded kind of case. I could get used to embroidering those running stitches.
