I need better needles, though. I think... <br /><br />The stitching has become my favorite thing to do in the evening while we're watching mindless telly. And since we're heading towards the cold season, this is a wonderful gift!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-28966417447959750012010-04-06T03:55:26.111+12:002010-04-06T03:55:26.111+12:00Also liking your shirt!Also liking your shirt!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-52406172583665642512010-04-05T17:04:38.773+12:002010-04-05T17:04:38.773+12:00Not exactly, Holly. :-<Not exactly, Holly. :-<Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-55916199478684781252010-04-05T16:19:25.049+12:002010-04-05T16:19:25.049+12:00I liked it...I thought the blothes were part of th...I liked it...I thought the blothes were part of the design.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08147165626178639004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-42963462973841377542010-04-05T08:47:57.263+12:002010-04-05T08:47:57.263+12:00Thank you, ladies.

It wrapped around the two layers round and round, and the bundle became too bit to deal with at the fat end of the shape, so I couldn't stitch all the way to the end of the fabric. The book says you can manipulate the pattern inside the bundle to create shapes I like, but that'll take practice, and I think I need to stitch one layer at a time for that. <br /><br />Dianne, no, not yet. No way! But I am ready to try out on woven swatches, and I've got two tiny pieces. And more T-shirts.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-84712706962737881012010-04-05T08:05:23.205+12:002010-04-05T08:05:23.205+12:00That is really great, the background compliments t...That is really great, the background compliments the shibori line.

As a T shirt, it's not bad, I think, but I would like the option of doing it "nicely" if I wanted to.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-87125573836320520722010-04-05T00:56:24.048+12:002010-04-05T00:56:24.048+12:00I actually really like the 'blotchy' effec...I actually really like the 'blotchy' effect, and until you mentioned it, thought it was supposed to be like that! It gives it a handmade feel but as it's a manufactured tee, it looks professional. Don't be so hard on your mistakes, it works! :)ThisIsKatieVWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597908197622627170noreply@blogger.com
