The Amish woman side of the scissor case looked like this when I began. The limited colours used in the Amish pieces meant I have not had many threads left from other pieces that could be used on the scissor fob.
I put her white cap in first, to give myself a reference point, then tackled the black apron, with the tricky pleat counting.
Once that was done, the satin stitch was a bit more relaxing.
Her basket was a treat: a neat little basket-weave to finish off.
I'd prefer to have faces, but am staying true to the intention!
That basketweave stitch is nice!
ReplyDeleteI see your point about the faces, but at that scale, what could you really do? The little figures in my Juin sampler have eyes and shaded cheeks, but I don't love that either - the eyes look too big to me. But, like you, I have opted to stick with the designer on that one!
