Little Hands Studio News - The Studio is Moving

Yes, Little Hands Studio is changing location, so it'll be topsy-turvey while boxes are getting packed and unpacked.  But it is altogether wonderful to handle all the lovely materials in the process of packing.

This embroidery is an old work in progress and worthy of some time and attention.

I've been mending these old black jeans for years, so this session I got out the bright silks for some dramatic applique and colorful stituches.

An old pal asked me for a favor and so I finished the yoke and neck. It was nice not to have to get through all that gray first!! I really enjoyed working with the bulky lopi.

 

Mending a cashmere sweater

This beautiful red cashmere sweater is from days when I had moths, so they had a fairly substantial snack from the front of this beauty.  I've been contemplating how to mend it for years, and came across this velvet and also another cashmere sweater that I got in a clothing swap.  I think between the two acquired materials I shall be able to do either a patch/patches or some kind of reverse applique.  I want to use a good deal of embroidery too, in order to make the front of the sweater nice and splashy.
