As a part of my continuing education and refining my skill set, I’m doing a 12-week embroidery and embellishment course via the Embroidery & Embellishment with Denise Hendrick group on the blessed and most holy FaceBook. [Why yes, that was a tad bit of snark about Facebook on my part.] It’s a closed group so you have to request permission to join it.
The project is to create a sampler so I’ve decided to “kill to two birds with one stone” and make my sampler in the final form of an 18th-century stomacher. I’m adapting the pattern that Lauren at American Duchess used for her stomacher.
Today is prepping my fabric and trace the design onto the fabric. I scored a deal on pearl cotton at Hobby Lobby: 105 skeins for $16.99 less 30% off, which works out to 11 cents per skein. I am happy with that. It almost makes up for the cost of the yarn to make the 13th Doctor’s rainbow scarf…but that’s another blog post in the making.
