It's been a slow and happy start to the year after lovely few weeks when the whole family gathered here for Christmas and the New Year. I hope its going to be a very happy 2025 for all my blog readers.
My little sample of Ukrainian whitework that I wrote about here and here in a previous posts has been stitched up and made into a little pouch.
I hemstitched the two short ends of the sample so I could leave an opening at the back.
The opening would make it easy to eventually fill with sweet smelling herbs or lavender.
I like using lines of backstitch, and then whipping the two sides together for finishing off. It leaves a nice clean line of stitching.
Finally I slipped a little blue satin pillow inside the pouch. It contrasts well with the white drawn thread work for photographing.
'Till next time, from a very hot and humid Brisbane, happy stitching!
