Flowers completed!

I have FINALLY completed everything about these complex flowers!!!!!!! FINISHED!!!!!!!

The inner petals use rayon thread, free-motion machine embroidery over a wire structure. The outer leaves are again free-motion embroidery over thin fabric, with one piece of wire through the middle. The centres are circles of felt with two circles of white beads sewn over the top. The whole structure is hand-sewn together.

They have now been attached to the front of the skirt, and I think it is quite effective :)


Now I have to decide whether or not to embroider a quote to the base of the skirt or to cut it out of the design... at the moment I am more inclined to include it.
Stay tuned!

Skirt :D

Guess who made a skirt?!


Took me so long... my Textiles teacher says she had a quick glance over it before she marked it, and said, "Your hem is done to perfection!" which from her is pretty high praise. That was before I realised that she only noted the hem...

So happy I have made something so sophisticated on a sewing machine all by myself :D Has a hook and eye and a zipper (the button is pointless other than aesthetic appeal)
