Cross Stitch - Lavender Needle Book

Just finished the lavender needle-book.
It's also my first needle book.
A lot of french nuts made me chaotic, but they made lavender more blooming. :)

 

 

I attached 2 pieces of felt, flower print and deep purple for keeping more needles.

I stitched my initials in inner back side. But, it's too right-bottom sided after finishing :)

quilt - Pouch

It's my first quilting craft.
I think quilting is a little difficult and makes my fingers pains, but very interesting. :)

It's too difficult for me to quilt with line, so I didn't it. But sewing with a bias tape and a zipper was not much difficult than I thought.

Tower of Biscornus :)

I have crafted four biscornus. Above are three of them.

Lacing

Trim your stitching 1~1.5cm outside the design, leaving and prepare lace.

Actually I love iron on adhesive tape because I don't know how to use the sewing machine. :)

CrossStitch - Giardino Di Primavera

These beautiful flowers took twenty days to stitch pattern only.
For using square table cover,more widely to the left and right green borders finish unlikely original chart.

It is placing under the glass on dining table. :)

Finishing Instructions

To begin you will prepare a strap or libon. I made ​​it as twisted with three threads.

Before darning stitching the pieces together, finger press along backstitched line.

Darning stitch all the way around until 2~3cm remain.

Carefully stuff your Rilakkuma using regular craft filling or fiberfill. Just before last 2~3 cm are stitched closed you can check the fullness of your Rilakkuma and readjust the stuffing.
