A LOT OF FUN! ATELIER COUTURE-BRODERIE AVEC SOPHIE ET CHARLOTTE

Le programme était bien chargé, mais nous avons réussi à faire un sampler de broderie al fresco, pour profiter des derniers jours de beau temps.

Avec 2 élèves douées et assidues ( ;))) Sophie!), nous n allions pas nous arreter là , donc la suite, plus technique encore, consistait en la réalisation d une pochette zippée pour ranger notre kit de broderie et pouvoir emporter partout avec nous les travaux futurs.

Charlotte et Sophie ont choisi des tissus de styles différents, toutes 2 avec des doublures soignées et originales. Et voilà le résultat!

 

 

Prochain atelier: réalisation d un sac cabas personnalisé grace à une broderie libre qui utilisera les points appris aujourd hui……

HOW EXCITING!

A VERY PRACTICAL PURSE FOR MY EMBROIDERY WORKS

I needed a practical, light but efficient little bag to tidy, carry and protect my embroidery works while travelling.

I ve spent a lot of time browsing on internet desperatly to find the perfect one. Lots of them where pretty big with tonns of complicated subdivisions and required the use of a million notions to make. I really couldn t make up my mind, when suddenly I thought of one of my favorite zipper pouch: the one I made using the Craftsy tutorial. I already made a post about it:

After all, it s a very solid, light but protective pouch and I already made more than 20 of them to give to friends or to keep. Of course for my 17cm embroidery hoop I needed more a square shape than a rectangle. I then simply changed the measurements of the 3 basic pieces of fabric and upgraded them to : 25 . 25 cm, 25 . 9 cm and 25 . 17 cm.

I had a very beautiful small piece of vintage fabric, I really loved it but didn t know what to sew out of it. It was too small for a bag, not appropriate for a headband and I wanted something that I would as well use a lot and keep for ever! And it was perfect for my embroidery travel bag! I also choose a nice vintage metal zipper.

 

How cool it is when the lining is almost as beautiful as the outside……

When I tidy my embroidery I just put the threads over the embroidery then fold the 4 sides of the fabric towards the right side of the embroidery and it s ready to go in my lovely zipper pouch!

I love it so much that I might make one for all the different sizes of embroidery hoop I possess!

I had a few little fabric left and will make an other zipper pouch, smaller and adding a little dyed linen to complete it as it s not enough for a whole pouch. Pictures coming soon!

A SPECIAL DRESS FOR A VERY SPECIAL EVENT:My Jubilee Street dress for the Barbican Gala preview of 20,000 Days on Earth with Nick Cave.

Next week is taking place a very special gala at the Barbican in London for the UK release of 20,000 days on Earth.

“Get up close with the creative team behind the film 20,000 Days on Earth, in this exclusive red carpet preview screening followed by a unique live experience and Q&A with directors Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard and special guests including Nick Cave, Warren Ellis and Barry Adamson live.

A bold portrait of one of music’s most mysterious and charismatic figures – Nick Cave – 20,000 Days on Earth was one of the highlights at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, where it was awarded the Directing Award and Editing Award in World Cinema Documentary. This is your chance to be part of a unique celebration, packed with surprises and stories from behind the scenes, ahead of the film’s nationwide release by Picturehouse Entertainment on 19 September.

The event will also be broadcast live to cinemas across the UK and Ireland.”

This is how the evening is announced on the Barbican s website.

I am amongst the lucky peps who succeeded to get a ticket for this very promising evening and am hugely looking forward to it.

I decided I couldn t go without making a special dress for that unique event and chose to make a ” Jubilee Street” themed dress as this song is very present in 20,000 days on Earth.

I wanted something classic in the pattern but quirky and chic at the same time. So I just embroided a quote of the song in Gold thread over a black fluid fabric.

And here it is!
