I’m always striving to find new directions of creativity to explore (given that I can’t settle on any preference, might as well try as much as I can find).
Last weekend I spent learning the art of machine embroidery from the very inspirational Gina Ferrari. I’d only ever dabbled with this sort of machining before but by the end of the weekend course I’d produced a few samples and things, including this.
Not to mention full-to-the-brim with new ideas! 😀

ooooh…nice! Something I’ve wanted to try as well. Now if only there were room on my paper covered table for the sewing machine.

lol yeh! I took my machine with me to the course, and the little bit of table space it used to occupy seems to have filled itself with stuff in its absence!!!
It’s a lot of fun tho -really recomnd it if ur into textile stuff at all 🙂
