I enjoyed making the blouse for a friend and so immediately made another one for myself, it came together very quickly and easily.
It was a fun and east make
The Epoch is a really cute option: It’s a simple and satisfying sew that can be made relatively quickly and uses up scraps. The projector file is fantastic and tutorial detailed. I made the tulip pocket and I love the bonus smaller pocket in its design.
The Secret Garden Embroidery (SGE) tutorial is like a detailed design handbook. I particularly found the composition and incorporating other pattern elements fascinating and I now have skills to create my own embroidery patterns, beyond the bunches of flowers that I have been doing. I like that the SGE can be used on its own too- I cut out the piece I was wishing to embroider, marked seam allowance and projected the embroidery file. I simply chose elements that worked with my area. It’s a tutorial that I want to reflect and mull over, take time to think about a design and then create.
I’ve been a bit of a stitch doodler for years. I love picking up details in an accent fabric and reflecting it in my embroidery. However when it comes to my own designs they are really just stitch doodles at best. The embroidery handbook helped me better understand the process of design particularly in relation to colour and balance. I highly recommend.
