Junior Joy of Sew totally nails her project
My daughter's school likes to set the kids extended 'voluntary' projects, to be done at home or in special school sessions, over a number of weeks. All a tad stressful really. This term's project was on portraits and she was exhibiting no interest whatever. UNTIL... my good chum Lynley sent me a link showing images of sewn portraits in the form of pillows. Thanks, you lifesaver.
Following the success of Junior's pillow last week, she decided to give it a try. She chose a photo of her brother taken when he was only a few months old and picked one of the many many muslins he uses as a comforter (with his permission obv) to make the fabric of his face. I think this was my favourite touch. She sketched, cut, embroidered, coloured in, machine-sewed, stuffed and hand-sewed over the course of a crafty Saturday afternoon. Job done. Clever girl, gotta love her!
What did you do this weekend? Did you get your craft on?

Love it - what an original idea. I finally made my living-room curtains yesterday. Looking splendid and, after ten years of no window cover, the room is so much warmer.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shirl! And very well done on the curtains. I have curtain-makers block at the moment. S x
