Happy New Year to all my blog readers!<\/p>\n

I have now finished my Elizabethan embroidery. It is unlike anything I have ever stitched before and I had so much fun doing it. This all came about because of a sort of personal challenge from Mary Corbet<\/a> for me to include plaited braid stitch in my left handed stitch dictionary.<\/p>\n

If I was going to include it, then I had to know plaited braid stitch back to front. So that meant doing a lot of it, and I wanted to make it worth my while, and make it into something pretty or useful. So this is the finished embroidery. I have ummed and ahhed about what I will make it into, and have decided that I will make it into a bag – sweetbag style. I did consider framing it and sticking it on the wall, but we’re running out of wall space, and besides I want to show it off! So it will be a bag that I will wear when teaching to keep my scissors, threads etc in as I wander around the teaching room. And I can wear it to any shows that I attend. What a show off I am!<\/p>\n

\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287217611253331250\"<\/a>Therefore, plaited braid stitch WILL definitely be included in the book (I know I’ve already said it would) but now it HAS to be, because I’ve invested all this time and effort in making this piece.<\/p>\n

I did learn a lot from it too. About the thread thickness, and about the spacing of the stitches. And about starting off on angles, and things like that.<\/p>\n

And as a by-product, I now have lots of experience with detached buttonhole and trellis stitch.<\/p>\n

I am unsure as to whether anyone else would want to make this project too. Because I could write the instructions and make the project available at some point in the future… Or even teach it… So please let me know if you’d be interested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
