I have an update on one of my projects from my Autumn Projects post {here}. You may remember, I was going to stitch this small table topper and I was deciding on floss colors
I decided to go with the perle cotton in this beautiful color variation. This is DMC No. 4128. I am very happy with the selection!
It really compliments the fabric and I just love the effect that the color variation gives. For the embroidery, I used the Lazy Daisy, Stem, and Straight Stitches.
After I did all the embroidering on this, I cut piece of white fabric to use as a backing piece.
I pinned the two pieces right sides together
and sewed around the edges. I left about a 2" opening so that I could turn the piece inside out and have the seam and raw edges inside and the right sides out.
Before I turned this inside out, I cut each corner on a diagonal so that it would reduce bulk and be easier to turn the corners.
I turned it right side out and then I hand stitched the 2" opening closed.
This table topper really matches these wood pieces. I am looking forward to using it with them!
How pretty. I think the floss color is perfect, it goes with the wood so well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder of cutting off the corners to remove some of the bulk. It's a good tip that really works.
Kim, querida,

Wow!
ReplyDeleteI did not think that this color is DMC so lovely!=)
Very nice work!
Darlene - Thank you! I am really pleased with the matching. The fabric looks fairly light in these pictures, it is a much warmer tone in person :)
ReplyDeleteLigia - Obrigado! Eu amo o outono. Tenha uma semana maravilhosa :)
Вик Вик - Thank you! I was really wondering about the color too - now I love it!
That turned out really pretty Kim. Your stitching is perfect as usual, and I think you made the right choice on the colors. I never would have thought to use that color. It absolutely works!
