Work in Progress Wednesday - Getting Unstuck #4 - Wallet Finish
I
finished the stitching on this sampler some time ago, with the idea of making
it into a wallet. You can see the finished stitched piece here. I became stuck at that
point because I wasn’t sure what to do with it to make it into a wallet. I
decided I needed to just do it, and here it is. (In the photos it looks like the flap is wider than the rest, but I think it's because it is closer to the camera.) Front and back, closed.
Front and back, untied.
Front and back, open.
I used
a blue bali print for the lining and made two sections inside. It was difficult to photograph the inside sections.
I made the cording for around the edges and the closure tie from Waterlillies that I
used for stitching the alphabets. The tie is tacked down in one place.
Done is better than perfect. It feels good to get "unstuck" and finish these things.
Very good! I think you did a great job. I am with you. Finished is better than perfect. I may actually "finish" some ornaments soon!
ReplyDeleteI think it's lovely! The cording really finishes it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteLovely finish.
