I found a way to combine the look of a watercolor sketch with sewing! Isn't this fun!? Oh the places to go.... With black thread I stitched the sketch, then filled in the colors with some fabric paints. The background was stippled with a light thread.I had to get a new sewing machine to do this with. My old hand-me-down machine just wasn't cutting it anymore. I looked into the Juki that I heard about on Bumblebeans blog, and decided to go with one of them. What a dream.
Very nice, Cat. I love it. Looks like you've found a way to combine both mediums! Fun!
ReplyDeleteWOW! you don't waste anytime! Isn't it fun! I love the drawing with the thread!
ReplyDeleteThis is so perfect....you did find a way, I knew that you would.

ReplyDeleteI was just telling my mom that I still have my singer that I've had for about 21 years. It has no special gadgets - nothing but zig zag and button holes... but it works! I look forward to buying a new one with all the gadgets someday.
I have been using my sewing machine again too - it's been fun.
Have a good day.

Cat Girl, This is awesome!! Don't you love your Juki? Isn't the automatic cutter the bomb!! There is a yahoo juki group if you ever feel the need to join up with other juki gals. Love the whole concept of watercolor and thread. Have a great weekend, and enjoy life! Pam in Chico
