Its a lovely book . > All her projekts in this book are made in wool, but you can easy adapt them > to the yarn you prefer. I translated and used Eterna stranded Silk Floss. > Each petal is first outlined with a thin wire, then the edge is heavily > buttonhole stitched. Finally you stitch with short and long stitch of the > whole petal. When all things is done, they can be cut out and sewed onto the > foundation embroidery and this way it gets 3 dimentional. I have 2 flower > buds, 4 green leaves and 2 full blomed flowers in dimentional embroidery on > this bag. > It really looks much more difficult than it is, i was quite surprised how > easy it was done and also how lovely it looks when embroidery gets > dimentional. > > Bjarne > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Becky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Historical Costume" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Sunday, January 22, 2006 7:00 PM > Subject: Re: [h-cost] ladys gusset bag > > > >I loved the bags. how did you get the tiny petals to stand off the surface? > >I can embroidry pretty well but have not done any such 3-D work/ I'm > >interested in how you did it. > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Bjarne og Leif Drews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Sunday, January 22, 2006 10:08 AM > > Subject: [h-cost] ladys gusset bag > > > > > >> Hi, > >> I finished the embroidery with the dimentional flowers for a ladys bag.
