Libellchen
called like that by Liesel Niesner whose daughter - Hilde Klatt - published a little book
about their creations
I made them already some time ago
but here is the how to
three finished
The first one is going to be embellished
I am couching thick green viscose thread on the edges
and a "tail"
preparing the nex one - it is the English paper sewing method
all prepared
You experts would think: shame! because I fixed them with small sticky stripes
ok it worked but there are better methods
now joining them with very small stitches
these two parts will be joined together and result in the blue LiBellchen
(see on top)
the yellow one
Very clever little decorations to stitch pretty stitches all over. Thank you for the method you use. I am even lazier! When I made my hexie ball, I used fusible (iron-on) interfacing cut to the size without seam allowance. Then I only had to baste the seam allowance at the corners where it overlaps - one quick stitch at each corner instead of your tape. The interfacing gives it stiffness like the paper. Always break the rules.... stitch on!
ReplyDeleteThese are really pretty Anneliese! What does the name mean? How big would they be?
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful ornaments! I do like the embellishments of the yellow one lot.
ReplyDeletethese look fun to do Anneliese, thought they used a 60 degree diamond but not so sure I am right.Will put them on my list of things I want to do.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely, a good way to use a few TAST stitches. Thanks for sharing how you made them. It will go on my to-do-list.
ReplyDeleteNice little ornaments! Good to use up scraps.
