Spring 4 Liverpool

A bit of spring for Liverpool

Just finished 2 pairs of wrist warmers in the shades variation. These have only 3 colours but wider sections. Don't know but they took ages to finish, probably due to sick kids and lots of ideas and new bamboo/cotton super jersey that arrived and is just waiting in front of my eyes . . .Anyway they are in the shop now here in Liverpool. The shop is an art shop and you can find a lot of gorgeous things there and it also attracts some interesting people. Volunteering there means meeting some of them and enjoying talking to them as well. Really nice when they are interested in Hand stitched fashion and even purchase some!

After preparing all the pieces in order and shape you can see the first stage of stitching here, the basic straight stitch which holds the design together. I take care that they leave enough room for the fabric to stretch. 

Look at 50 shades of pink here.

Then I turn the arm warmers to the right side and pin the felled seam (wrong side). 
I started already with the cross stitch on this one. As it is a small piece to work on it is quite tricky to sew. 

And it is worth it as the finished product is a piece of joy! 

Soon in my shop available.
