Outcomes From Maria Thomas Workshop

The fabrics are old family tray-cloths, dressing table sets and remnants pieced together. The accidental placing of some pieces seemed to suggest denim and biker-style jackets, and as it was already busy enough without adding more appliqué, I decided to embroider into it. I''ve worked various insects and a thistle, and added heavy 'hardware' to re-inforce the idea of a bikers jacket, and also to stop the jacket becoming too sweet. I have thoroughly enjoyed doing this - in fact may do another, this time in denim so that I can use my pretty buttons and lace!
