I started a work which will last for months - small patches of an old secondhand-bought jacket were cut into pieces - it was already a patchwork jacket. So I had no large pieces. I basted the pieces to an uni-coloured fabric of which I thought it would fit all those faded colours of the patches.
I am going to stitch the patches down with embroidery - the stitches which SharonB
posted in 2010 and is posting in 2012 as Tast (Take a stitch Tuesday).

Photos are not so good - I took them with my iPad
I filled already one patch with mostly knotted Cretan stitches.
I was learning them so some are really wonky and not good
This is my second patch. Clockwise I made threaded running stitch, chain cable stitch, oh my,
not vey good just learning to do them
and detached chain stitch
More threaded running stitches
Interesting Anneliese. It will be a lovely piece to showcase your stitch progress as you learn new stitches and develop your skills.
ReplyDeleteThis is looking VERY interesting, Anneliese! Not the least bit " housewifey"!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to combine a recycled patchwork jacket quilt and TAST stitches. Go slow and have fun!
ReplyDeleteThis will keep you busy Anneliese, and will be an exciting piece of clothing. I like to wear things like this from time to time - great talking pieces I find. Will watch the progress with much interest.
ReplyDeleteI love a good old recycling project. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful project and will I am sure become a great family heirloom. Your stitching is very good.
