Hello blogging friends,
I´m making very slow progress on just about everything at the moment. My start on Christmas stitching is non-existent and my trying to finish a small embroidered project for Halloween is proving all uphill.
I think I´ll put the blame on the Coronavirus, which is getting me down and when you try to buy some fun fabric for Halloween and the two local needlework shops can only show you plain black antibacterial fabric for face masks, it doesn´t help to cheer you up or encourage inspiration.
Today I´m joining Rachel of Ten Hour Stitcher for the Fully Finished Gallery SAL as I completely finished this little mermaid pocket for a friend of a friend who had seen one of the mermaid scissor pouches that I made years ago and wanted one for her eye glasses.
A tiny applique mermaid and different embroidery stitches on a very difficult to photograph fabric. The back also has a little embroidery.
This being a pink mermaid, I made the lining with pink satin and added a few seed beads to the frame
I still have quite a few of these embroideries done from time back, they are all different and I have been intermittently working on them for months now to use up the remains of the pretty fabric. I will show them all properly in a separate post.
I was going to show my finished curtains in this post but the FFGS is not for sewing, so I´ll leave them until my next post, Thank you for stopping by and looking.

Beautiful stitching Sheryl! Your mermaids are really cute! Lovely fabric!
ReplyDeleteEvery year I realise too late I have nothing suitable for Halloween makes 🎃 👻 But I am stitching a couple of little Halloween pieces on Aida! Look forward to seeing your Halloween makes.
Hugs,

Those little mermaids are delightful. They'll make charming little gifts!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I can’t believe you have several finished pieces just waiting for creating small treasures. Your friend is so lucky! The pink mermaid is delightful and your finished piece just amazing! I think the entire world is a bit Covid fatigued!
ReplyDeleteWhat an exquisite finished project Sheryl. I think the Coronavirus is getting us all down a bit but, it is nice to have projects to work on. I look forward to seeing what you do with those other beautifully stitched panels too! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Sheryl - is that fabric velvet? Anyway, gorgeous finish. Do you have much covid in your area? Not much here in the Dordogne but there elsewhere in France. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful embroidery, these make wonderful cases for glasses. I wouldn't stuff them in my handbag though, these are for careful use at home only!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful purse!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful glasses pouch.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Your embroidery is lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour mermaid pouches are very very pretty! The fabric and design are perfect complements!
ReplyDeleteNice work Sheryl, your mermaids look very pretty. How neat to have embroidery done on printed backround fabric.
ReplyDeleteOh wow to the fabric, the embroidery and the finishing! Thanks for showing this in the FFG SAL, and hopefully we'll see the others soon. :)
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is stunning, as is your stitching! I love surface embroidery and really thinkg I need to try it some day, it's so pretty and delicate.
ReplyDeleteFantastyczna praca! Bardzo, bardzo piękna!😍
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness, Mermaids everywhere! They are all so lovely and the one you finished as a case is just stunning. I love how you changed the colours and made them all unique.
