This week's prompt for K3N Cloth Tale's slow stitching challenge is cloth folding.
I took a much different approach. I found a rayon garment at the thrift store for a very good price. It was soft and draped very nicely. Now to the ReUse center for a piece of cotton. I found a peachy piece of cotton. Yes!
All washed up, I kept the hem on the piece of fabric and just cut it down to create a lovely draped piece. Think a curtain, a shirt, a skirt and much more.
I hemmed the piece of cotton first. I then placed my draped fabric and stitched it down. I used a piece of black felt as a finish for the top raw edge of the drape. I stitched all the way around with black thread, now for decoration I added some daisy stitches in the deep burgundy and seed stitches in the aqua.
It is a very different piece for me. I am caught up and look forward to Monday's video.
