YEAH..... I have actually finished the embroidery for the pouch for Dad's Birthday!!!!
now i have to sort out a lining...the closure method, a drawstring cord and use the "embroidered band" method on the Medieval Silkwork Blog. Thanks Machteld. I love this method makes it look really neat.
18 hours?? approximately (maybe a little less for the moments i got distracted by what i was doing.)
Here is the actual shape of the pouch
.
Here is the pouch with the intended trimmings for the side decoration.
20 hours (with the making of the tassels and cutting and ironing the lining and back...)
I have since steamed and washed the tassels. (really makes this cotton tassel hang beautifully and looks rather like silk.)
