My interest in sewing and all things hand crafty
started around my mid teens when Mum bought me a counted cross stitch kit. I
was hooked and finished the project within weeks because I was so enthusiastic
about it. Mum can’t sew and has no interest in handcrafts except to admire them,
and my aunts from my Dad’s side of the family sew out of necessity, hence I
feel privilege to do it for pure enjoyment.
I look at the cushions now and wonder how I managed to create such even satin stitches (for the ribbon). I should revisit embroidery, as it's not as constrained as cross stitch, and I'm free to use the colours I love.
The embroidery stitches used are simple ~ french knots, bullion, lazy daisy, back stitch and straight stitch.
