tHy LaCe

Some threads
and fabric bits
laid out,
with a wee bit
o' candy wrapper
cut up.
...
my first attempt
at using the
water soluble
stabilizer
I bought
in 2006!
: )


I have been saving
all the threads
from my sewing business
to recycle
into
fibre art.

Here,
I have made
some passes
with the sewing machine
using a
straight stitch
and a zig zag stitch.
The threads
and candy wrapper
are sandwiched
between
the water soluble
stabilizer.
This is a close up
showing the free

motion stitching
I used
to attach
the threads
to each other,

and to attach
the chartreuse coloured
lace to the edge.

: D
Some of the stitching
was done with the
feed dogs
up,
and some with
the feed dogs
lowered.
Here it is pinned
to my wool coat.
(too bad
I didn't make
two!)
It was a LOT of fun.

And a great
almost FREE
recycling project!
Woah!
The potential!!

I hope you enjoy!
