Another amazing day...
...my walk from the bus to school this morning...
......today we learnt how to make a Suffolk Puff (not a cake!)...
......used some of my indigo muslin, small running stitches around the edge and padding circles inserted....
.....then stitches gathered and secured....
......a Dorset Button made by stitching blanket stitch around a curtain ring and working the centre by weaving the 'spokes'. I used 4 strands of silk thread. This can be made in any size and any thread.
My first attempt at stencilling, I need lots of practise!!!!
More indigo dyeing on silk noil...
....and threads and silk strips for weaving and couching.
