Have Project, Will Travel
Of course, I could not go on a trip east without a hand project.
I suppose because I know someone who really likes polka dots, I had been noticing a lot of them in the fabric stores lately. I started picking up a few pieces in the cool color range-greens, teals, blues, purples and greys.
The project I settled on was a series of appliquéd squares in the blues, greys and purples. This technique involves sewing a cut fabric shape onto a larger piece of fabric using an invisible stitch and folding under the raw edge for the finished look. And could there be a more fitting shape for polka dots than a circle?
My appliqué skills will always need improvement. But there's only one way to fix that...
