I started the day thinking about my project and decided to make a full size plan.
I cut a 14" square from some old wallpaper and drew in my idea for stitching the background....
I then cut 6 different petals .....
I thought these were a bit too large so reduced their size....
and thought this was about right when the cushion is inserted.
Next I sorted through my hand dyed stash of fabric and I think I may have enough, also found a beautiful piece of purple silk which I might use to give a different texture.
My problem is I can never see the end result before I have completed the task so I tend to change ideas as I go along!!
This task took an hour!!
Tomorrow I am meeting up with my friend Jo and we are going to 'play'.....
watch this space..
Doing the plan to scale really makes a difference. I love the mixture of velvet and silk ... very luxurious.
