August from Patty - boro stitching

 



Remember when I posted this in the black and white scan that arrived in my USPS informed delivery email? Isn't it pretty? It's something I'd like to try. As I said - August was a bumper crop of good ideas. If you read this Patty, please tell me what kind of adhesive you used on the white oval. I tend to avoid adhering mailing labels - but I can see how it gives a person so. many options.

I've only watched the first minute of this video - it's about a person making his own version of a $4,000 jacket. It involves many hours of hand stitching - to make the garment look like is has been mended so many times it is now 100% *mend* - I like visible mending and this carries it to an extreme. It just looks sooooo comfortable.

I'm writing this on Aug 22 - in two days I'll have an update on the ofrenda project. Here is a little cliff hanging teaser -- step 2 on the small skull was almost a disaster and I have not yet figured out how to proceed with the big skull.

  1. I think I used a UHU glue stick. In my opinion it is the best glue stick and way less messy than the UHU tube.
