I went searching for a leaf pattern to try out the Lime Sherbert Blendables Sulky thread, and really didn't find what I was looking for. So I drew one up and worked on this last night
http://www.tat-man.net/bobbinburg/BLgallery/HS_leaf.jpg It measures 3.7cm(1 7/16th inches). I think it turned out ok. This will become a pendent of some sort. I might do something different if I did it again. I used 6 pairs to make the HS area and then worked two rows of CS in the tight area at the bottom of the leaf. Then worked the other side like the first. I didn't attach the middle with sewings because I wasn't sure how to go about it, being that it was a HS edge not WS edge. So after I finished the leaf I whipstitched the hole in the middle and it created a ribbing effect. After making the stem I joined it to the leaf and then braided the rest of the thread and attached it to the other side of the leaf. Any suggestions on how to work this kind of pattern any better would be appreciated. This is one of many first trials as I try to design things myself. So I use what knowledge I have and resouces and figure things out as I go. ;) -- Mark, aka Tatman website: http://www.tat-man.net blog: http://tatmantats.wordpress.com etsy shop: http://tatman.etsy.com FB: http://www.facebook.com/tatmantats - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
