My first time - not really OT ;)
I made my first fabric postcard this morning.
http://community.webshots.com/photo/...35982286tpZBxr I am not sure if the result justifies the amount of work that went into it - like spending half of the morning searching for the instructions to my sewing machine so I could use the fancy stitches . What do you all think? Hugs, Maria -- Maria Cherry remove the penguins http://community.webshots.com/user/mcherry1508 ***** "In a cat's eye, all things belong to cats." (English Proverb) |

The picture part is really good, Maria.
And, yes, it does justify time spent finding out how to do the stitches. Only thing I would say (since you asked) is that, if you are going to make more of these fun little art works, I would advise a little more practice with getting a good satin stitch for the edges. I believe Leslie (who has done a *lot* of these) goes round twice - the second time with a slightly wider stitch. You would then cover all the base fabric/batting and the little 'whiskers' wouldn't show. Have I got that right Leslie? Very good indeed for a first attempt - I haven't even made one yet! ..
