Lolita Inspired Candy Pin Cushion
I am so happy! I finally figured out how to set up my Janome Hello Kitty sewing machine (I am a beginner and yes it is a Hello Kitty machine, so cute!) and made my first item. As the title implies, a Lolita inspired candy pin cushion! The first line of stitches is crooked and not that great, the second and third show improvement, and finally when you reach my final line it is perfect! Yes, I am very proud of myself. I come from a long line of crafters, DIYers, and the artistically inclined. Luckily for me I inherited these wonderful genes and discovered at an early age that I have quite a knack for them. Now do not get me wrong, I am not bragging by any means. Mistakes happen here and there but it is all a learning process. No, I am not bragging, I am taking pride in what runs through my veins. Enough rambling on my part, on to the pictures!
I apologize in advance for the poor quality images. My cell phone does the best it can and my digital camera currently lays dead on my desk. Poor thing... This is the most accurate colour representation of the picture lot. If you look to the left you can see my first line of stitches. Very uneven and too loosely applied. But then if you look to the right you can see progress! :D Hurray!
This is a close up of the fabric. Isn't it beautiful? Normally I am not too keen on purple, not that I do not find it pretty, just it is not my favourite colour but this fabric really caught my eye. The lilacs are so dainty and the cream colour base of the fabric is just so complimentary. I could not help but use it.
In addition to my sewing I have also been embroidering a handkerchief that my Grandmother gave me. It is not quite complete yet but this is the work thus far:
As you can see it is not much but I will be sure to post pictures when I am done. The roses are based off an embroidery technique called the spider rose technique. It is super easy and very fun to do with such lovely results. That is all for now but I will be sure to post more of the things I make as I complete them which should be quite a lot considering I will be reopening my store soon and selling the various treats I have made! Thank you for reading, bye bye~
