Friday Finish - Necktie Zipper Pouch

Using the leftover pieces from the necktie bag I previously made, I made a little zipper pouch. (stitched by hand and a little wonky) This project was finished before my trip.

Stitch Group Saturday

We met yesterday to continue working on our blackwork projects.

Our next project will be making necktie bags. I brought neckties that one of my friends had given me, and everyone chose ties for bags they want to make. One stitcher couldn’t come to stitching yesterday, so I will bring them back next time. It is very fun to choose which ones to use.

Friday Finish - the Necktie Bag

Eight neckties, five buttons, one Daiso panda tenugi (for lining) and invisible thread. Sewn by hand.

Work in Progress Wednesday

New start - beady fobs. I had this piece of linen that I didn’t want to go to waste. It is perfect for making a few fobs. I think it is long enough to make about five fobs. These first two use DMC 106 and DMC 94.

New start - neckties hand stitched together with invisible thread.

Then I added some decorative stitching along the seams.

Work in Progress Wednesday

Beginning a project with neckties - I know it doesn’t look like much yet.

Blackwork progress - this project has become hard to put down. It is so fun to see it grow.
