Next piece of K3N Cloth Tales Slow Stitching Challenge 2024.
Week 48 - Cloth Gathering.
I chose this soft yellow cotton fabric. I cut a piece 3 times the length of my anticipated final piece (5.5 x 3 =16.5 inches).
I used pieces of embroidery floss longer than the cloth by a few inches. I chose them from my ORTS tin. I think I did 9 rows of running stitch. Make sure your knot is secure - a back stitch would be helpful.
I then pulled the threads to scrunch up the fabric. It feels really nice.
I really liked the stem stitch along the top edge which was just stitched to the top of each fold in green thread. I put crosses in blue on the left. I did not find adding stitches to this piece easy except the stem stitch.
