Dying Dilemma 2025 Part 10
Now I have the Coin Jingles I can make a start
Skirt
I take the Skirt and spread it out so I can see.
Undo Tassels
I Undo the Tassels as I am going to start on the Second Trim
Find the Needle
Since I am using a full Embroidery Thread I need to find the right Needle. It needs to hold the Thread but not damage the Skirt.
Pin to Start
I line up the Toggles and place a Pin in where I am going to start.
Dying Dilemma 2025 Part 9
This Beading is harder than anticipated. In fact it reminded me of Goldilocks and the three Bears.
Too Short
I am looking at what I have done and now I can tell at a glance that it is going to be Too Short to be able to Sew on to the Skirt.
Double Length
Right so this time I have more than Doubled the Length.
Second Go
This time I have removed the Third Bead as I didn’t like the look of it. The Thread is now Too Long. Obviously I could just cut this off after Sewing. However since I am using this as a Guide for all of the other ones I don’t want to waste all this Thread.
Remeasure
Hopefully now I have Remeasured it will be Third time the Charm.
Right Length
Now I have the right Length I can make the rest.
Dying Dilemma 2025 Part 8
Afterall the dismantling I did last time now I have to start to reassemble.
Materials Needed
I have found a Ruler, a pair of Scissors and some of my Cross Stitch Thread.
14 Cm
I have only limited Thread at present so have to be careful how much I use, Therefore I am going to do some tests.
Thread Coin
I pull the Thread through the Coin and knot it at the Top.
Thread Big Beads
Next I Thread two Silver Big Beads. I did not knot the Thread this time.
Split Thread
The reason I am using this type of Thread rather than ordinary sewing cotton is because I can easily Spit it. I have divided it into two equal parts and placed a Small Bead on each.
Third Bead
Finally I add a Third Small Bead.
Dying Dilemma 2025 Part 7
After last weeks long blog this week a shorter one.
Belly Hip Scarf
Along with the other two Hip Scarves I have already mentioned I have this one. To be honest I am not really sure what the colour is. The nearest Shade I can think of is Mauve.
Unpick Coins
Whatever the Shade I am going to scrap it. I am going to Unpick the Coins and Reuse them elsewhere.
String of Coins
I have now Unpicked one String of Coins. I am trying to keep them the way they were on the Scarf. I hope to be able to Replicate the Pattern.
Section Unpicked
This is one complete Section of Unpicked Coins. I still have another 2 to do. However it is going to have to wait for now.
