As a reminder this is my chosen design shape
Using MS Publisher I have now experimented with three options – one using a plain background and the other with the double pintuck as a background. A gap would be left between each shape to show the background.
Option One and One a
Option Two and Two a
Option Three and Three a
Whether I use the plain background or the pintuck background I would work the four main shapes on Vilene and attach after giving a raised effect.
I really like the pintuck background because it joins the individual shapes together so my current favourite would be Option Two a.
I chose to create the samples using natural colours but I do wonder if I need to introduce some colour – if I used similar colours perhaps I could add some colour at a later date if necessary.
I like the mixture of fabrics, the soft butter muslin, the organza/net, the calico and the linen and hopefully as the butter muslin is pintucked horizontally and vertically it will be strong enough to support the individual shapes when they are attached.
Brilliant variety of stitches as individual pieces which also work so well together! And pleased the IT skills also worked....clever lady cheers judith
