I recently had an email from a reader who was struggling with a stitch for one of the projects in one of my books. She sent a very clear photo so that I could see her work and assess where she might be going wrong. I was able to advise her on ways she could […] In this episode of White Threads FlossTube, Yvette demonstrates how to work an eyelet with a large hole, and the BEST way to finish an eyelet. She shows you the embroidered item she’s wearing for the day. For further reference, there are written step-by-step instructions for counted thread eyelets in Yvette’s book “Early-Style Hardanger” and […] “The linen wasn’t evenweave, because some of the threads were thick and some were very thin. And there were those slubby bits.” No. Evenweave does not refer to the thickness of the threads with which the fabric is woven. It has nothing to do with whether some threads are thick, and some threads are […] Firstly, I believe that the Sydney region bush fires have made news around the world. I live in Sydney, but I’d like to assure you that I am fine, and the closest fire is about 50km away from us.

One of my readers, Marilyn, who is both an embroiderer and a weaver wasn’t very keen on my definitions of warp and weft, so I am revisiting the subject. Probably the best way to do this is to […] In the most recent issue of Inspirations magazine I have a Hardanger project – Treasure Chest – a collaboration with Janie Hubble. One of the features of this design is needleweaving that has groups of three parallel woven bars. The process for doing these neatly so that the thread doesn’t show up obviously between […] With a young girl’s birthday and the school holidays inching ever closer, it has been time to get the rainbow dress made. I won’t be able to do any work on it during the school holidays as it is to be a surprise, so it needs to be completed before the holidays arrive. Yesterday I […] Recently I received an email from Carole (to which I did reply, Carole, but it bounced. Sorry!): Thanks for letting us see the finished dress. We have been involved from the start and what fun! Making the leotards sounds difficult. I’m not sure I know how to sew on stretchy fabric. I have some cotton […] |
