I’m linking up with Rachel over at Ten Hour Stitcher<\/a> for the monthly gallery of full-finishes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month I went ahead and finished up my August Smalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the Bloom fob from Shepherd’s Bush made into a tiny pillow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn’t that fun ribbon? To finish as the model showed, the ribbon on the fob gets tacked down with pearl beads so I tried that on my pillow and it is a nice way to embellish the ruffly ribbon trim I think. I may do that again. Over all I think it came out really cute!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now here is the Brenda Gervais Love Bird Pincushion (If you are curious, it is from a booklet called Be My Valentine-the booklet gives instructions for papering over a little heart shaped candy box, placing the pin cushion inside, and then making an envelope-shaped needle book. I am stopping right here at the pin cushion though the box looks cute if I can find one!):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In person the bird and linen color have more contrast. This photo really washes it out!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I learned something new every time I finish something. On the heart pillow, I drew a sewing line and that helped give a good shape. However, there was some lumpiness at the top. Well, trim covers a world of problems so you can’t see it, but I think for my next heart pillow I will think about how to avoid that to make the heart lobes smoother. I should probably practice sewing round shapes on my machine so I can find out what works. But I’d rather stitch than work out these kinds of problems, wouldn’t you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head back to Rachel’s<\/a> to see every one else’s finishes from this month! Thanks for hosting us, Rachel!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
