Sewing

These are the drapes I made for my grand daughter's room. I embroidered a butterfly to put on one of the tie backs.	These pillow are appliquéd to match the drapes for her.
Each part was ironed onto heat-and-bond, then ironed onto the front of the pillow. Embellished with little rosettes. All parts were appliquéd onto the pillow.
I took a regular sweat shirt and cut the neck and cuffs off. A zipper was sewn down the front and I used 100% cotton to chenille the collar and cuffs.	This was my first chenille sweat shirt attempt. I cut out the fabric for the bear on the back. Satin stitch around the design on the back.
I wanted to length a pair of my granddaughter's jeans. She is growing taller not bigger around. A lady at the Brother Embroidery Club in Guelph brought in a pair of jeans she did this technique to. I thought it would be great to lengthen pant for growing children. You recycle old jeans at the same time. I embroidered on the jeans as I cut the pieces. After washing the jeans, they fray.
