Velvet 1

Velvet 2

Velvet 3

We've been enjoying these velvety yellow tulips on the kitchen table this week. There's nothing quite like that brilliant yellow, is there?

I came upon some pieces of coloured cotton velveteen in the second-hand shop- they seemed to be asking me to embroider on them. I made some small purses for today's shop update from my stitchings. Such tactile loveliness, that velveteen. The rest of the fabric has been put away to make a batch of rabbits for new babies on the scene.

And one more note on velvet- I found this dress on Pinterest a while back- doesn't it look like just the most luxurious, beautiful garment? (although, I'd probably prefer to wear it with shoulder straps).

    Beautiful 😀 Isn’t velvet just the nicest fabric to stitch on, except for all the bits it usually sheds!

    Definitely would need shoulder straps here. As my husband says, more than a handful …..!
