Hidden Pocket (Robbie the robot Bag)

Spent yesterday and today working on this (though 

i had drawn and digitized the robbie last week) 

I knew what i wanted to make  on the embroidery machine 

(as well as in the hoop which means *that all the sewing 

together is sewn on the embroidery machine and don't have 

to take it to the normal machine to sew*)

So here it is the opening is in the bottom

Then when you put you had up and pull the inside

There is another bag that slides down

and the opening is in the top of that bag

everything worked the way i planed it and I 

am very happy

MY plan back in early December was to leave all the other

hobbies for 2 months and concentrate on learning more  of the 

embroidery software and I am soo happy i did .

Light as a Feather (scarf for Lynsey)

With my best friend coming to visit tasmania

 from the main land I wanted to make her something

 special . Louise had taught us to make these scarfs

 earlier this year , Jaddy had given me some white 

yarn and last week I set about to make it . 

She was so happy with it (as was I ) .

Woven on a Rigid heddle 12" loom

Robbie the robot

With the christmas holidays over here I had 

time away from my other hobbies to sit 

and learn more about my embroidery software.

I have not washed away all the stabilizer yet but 

I wanted to show you what i worked on this week.

 I drew the robot and then blew him up big enough

 so i could still fit parts of him in hoops (highest hoop i have is 5" x 7") 

 Spent lots of time in perla premium  and turned 

them all into a sew-able  project and 9 hoops later

 , joining each piece to the other in the hoop as well as i went . 

Here is my friend finished. 

he is 18" tall

 to get an idea of the hoop size compaired to him 

he is a photo

 Hoop parts  as follows

 

ROBBIE

Drew this for the embroidery software and then Neal
was looking at it in inkscape and  embossed and colouerd the image
I think it is a great improvement on my outline drawing .

Will be showing my Robbie embroidery real soon

Keep Calm

Made this little gift for the lady that opens her

studio each week to us and TEACHERS us as well .

Her studio is her favorite colour of pink so 

 that is the colour i made it 

A big thank you to Louise for all the weaving 

she has taught us all this year.

Knee blanket

Made this back in September , as my friend had some yarn 

and was going to give it away one day as she did not know 

that she would use it. We said oh keep it and borrow my wide loom 

and she did and she made a wonderful knee blanket adding 

sari silk at every 10 row. Well I liked her blanket soo much 

that i went out and brought some yarn and silk to make myself 

one as well  Here is mine

It is for over my KNEES not there knees !
