| A pretty room decoration from a scrap of dressmaking fabric, an embroidery hoops and lots of buttons and beads from my stash |
A nice little stash buster I made for the Fiskarettes UK Facebook page back in June.
I cut a scrap of dress fabric just larger than my
embroidery hoop, drew a heart shape
and sewed
on a variety of buttons and beads with a few different shades of embroidery silk, then filled in the gaps with
seed beads.
I felt it needed a backing as the fabric I had used was quite thin, so to finish the back I trimmed the surplus fabric to about
an inch, ran a running stitch around the edge to gather it and stitched a
circle of felt to cover the raw edges.
I have had the hoop for years
and never used it for its intended purpose but it now looks really
pretty on the wall. I think I may make some more to go with it!
