Seamwork Adelaide #2

October 2, 2016

photo-oct-02-4-24-38-pm

I saw this Nani Iro double gauze at Stitch and couldn’t resist it! Turns out, it’s a lot harder to work with than the Birch double gauze. It’s a little looser woven, and stretches a bit more. It also seemed more delicate in general and prone to pulls.

BUT, it’s done and it is pretty nice!

My theory about these dresses was correct, btw – looks awesome with tights and boots and my Lupin jacket. Yay!

The only thing I changed for this version is taking up the shoulders .5″. Unfortunately I cannot remember if I altered the paper pattern, so I will have to check the original pattern next time.

We met 40 years ago as tiny bebes in the park, and through the years we drifted apart several times but always found each other again at various dance recitals, school field trips, beach clubs, fabric stores, and summer jobs. The universe kept shoving us together til it stuck. This quilt is a hug from afar. I might not be able to get up to New Jersey frequently but this quilt will be there for cozy/comforting times as needed. 

I picked out my fabric, then used a quilt generator at savoreverystitch.com (the last slide), then imported it into Photoshop and colored over it (second to last slide), basically changing the whole thing, but it was an awesome starting place.
