With a lot of experimentation, I have now finished and uploaded my video for how to knit the Mountmellick embroidery fringe. The method that is shown is method 2 from Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature. I’d love to know what you think of the video, and if there are videos of other things that [...] Finally, back to the Mountmellick embroidery stitch along today. I apologise for the very long delay in moving on to the next part of this. It has been weighing heavily on my mind, but I have had several projects with deadlines. We’re going to talk about the knitted fringe that traditionally goes around the edge [...] Boiling Mountmellick embroidery?! Why? The fabric that we have used for the Mountmellick embroidery stitch along is the gorgeous high-quality 100% cotton satin jean fabric. It comes slightly off-white. At the completion of the embroidery, we boil it to finish whitening off the fabric. It is only a subtle difference, but it definitely does make [...] I made it my aim to finish the buttonhole stitching on the Mountmellick embroidery stitch along cushion yesterday, and I did! It was a bit of a squeeze to get it finished before our evening’s activities, but it is now done. I thought that it might be useful to explain how I end my buttonhole [...] I’m still going on the buttonhole edging for my Mountmellick stitch along lily cushion (what a mouthful that is!). I’m about 3/4 of the way around, so its coming along slowly. If you haven’t been to visit us on Facebook yet, please do. The Vetty Creations fan page is begging for your attention! Join up [...] Today I want to focus on a small discussion that one of our stitch along participants and I have had over the last week. SJ had said that she was making good progress on her stitch along embroidery, but she wasn’t happy with her buttonhole stitch. Without being able to see her buttonholing, there was [...] I’m still pushing along (or given our recent – still resultless – federal election here in Australia, perhaps the phrase to use would be “moving forward”) with the buttonhole edge around the Mountmellick embroidery cushion. I hope yours is progressing well too, wherever you are up to in the project. Anyone want to share how [...] If you’re doing the cushion, you’ll need a couple of extra bits to make it up. Firstly, you’ll need access to a sewing machine, unless you’re hard core and don’t mind doing it by hand(!). White machine sewing thread will be helpful. You will also need a cushion insert to stuff the cushion with. You [...] Firstly I just want to show you that I have not made much progress on my buttonhole edge around my Mountmellick embroidery stitch along cushion – but at least I have made some! The big news of the day is that there is an Ethiopian restaurant in Sydney! The African Village Cafe and Restaurant 359 [...] Today I traced the buttonhole cushion edge and the edge of the cushion pattern itself onto my fabric (you will have done this at the beginning). It matched up pretty well with my stitched bits, so I was pleased about that! I have started stitching. I wasn’t sure whether to stitch clockwise or anticlockwise, (with [...] |
