Bunnies in the garden

I've made some progress in the 'bunnies in the garden' project.

Last time when you saw this I'd finished the fruits and few leaves.Now I've completed all the leaves,the tree with stem stitch filling,grass with straight stitch,flowers with blanket stitch,part of the ladder with stem stitch and the basket with woven and rope stitch.

                                     

     

I'm spending a lot more time than I'd planned on each element of this project because of it's size.The basket is little more than ½ cm and the flowers are 3mm across.

How do you handle a small/miniature project ? Please do share your experience..

Happy stitching!

First project of the year

I've finished my first project this year :-)

It's a black kurti/tunic with white embroidery.I wanted a very simple pattern and happy with the result.The fabric was little slippery so I had to spend some extra time for the garment construction/sewing part.

                                           

The fabric is Italian crepe and the embroidery is done with Anchor stranded cotton thread.

We had a very misty morning today.A view from my balcony at noon while I was happily doodling/sketching a new pattern….

                                       

                                        

                                        

Happy stitching!
