ELEPHANT CUSHION COVER,FLOWER ANGEL CUSHION,ANGEL WING BAG,aNGEL

Blue spotty elephant...such fun..a lovely pressy for a child.

Flower angel cushion , my latest design for my little cushions. Lovely pastel colours...pretty and delicate.


I don't think a photo does these bags justice....I have four left now.....They are fully lined, made from shiny white fabric with applique wings. The wings were hand printed onto rainbow coloured fabric which I also printed....I then cut them out and sewed them on leaving the edges raw.I sewed ribbon yarn near to the edges using a close zig-zag. The yarn is a kind of papery ribbon around which is twisted a soft fluffy thinner yarn and iridescent fine glittery thread.This allows the wings to fray a little..adding to the angel effect. I then sewed a heart of pink velour onto net and placed this at the join of the wings..........To me this bag is everything 'angelic'.....I used all the components we think of when we think of angels.


If you click on this close up you should see my work in detail....


Such pretty heart fabric...the wings have little hearts on them... I had fun choosing the buttons...she has an embroidered face.
