Polka Dots
My new additions this week are very...dotty
Pink and soft green polka dot quilting cotton
And some candy coloured threads to co-ordinate. I also bought these Janome embroidery scissors which allow me to get very close the the base of the thread and snip it cleanly.
I need some new pins-these have become bendy and are fast losing their sharpness.
A new experiment today- I made a couple of contoured burp cloths.
I made the tag into a handy hanging loop. These are lightweight with little polyester padding for easy washing and fast drying.
There are so many versions out there and I just made up the pattern measuring myself and drawing a curve freehand, then copying it for the other side. I used some newspaper as a template to get the shape right (scrunch it up first so it does not slip as much). If you want a tutorial, have a look at the Contoured Burp Cloths Tutorial by cloud9fabrics.
