| Somebunny to Love Finish |
I stitched the entire piece in hand, which was an unusual experience for me as I would normally use a frame for anything larger than a mini sized piece (4"x4" approx) This method caused a slight problem with my tension, which caused the fabric to warp in certain areas. A good steam press resolved most of that issue and as it is only slight, it should look fine once it is finished off fully.
I find everything in this chart just adorable, from her little white shoes with the flowers and heart buckles, to the patches on the dress and the shy expression so skillfully portrayed by the designer. It was a complete joy to stitch and is a nice small piece so it didn't take too long either, always a nice bonus.

I plan on making this into a wall hanging, which is an exciting opportunity to experiment with another finish type I haven't tried before. I need to source some nice fabric and plan on using batting between the layers to give it some extra thickness.
Edit: I have added this to Super Mom - No Cape link Party. Click the link below to check out some great embroidery projects.
Excellent finish! I might have to attempt this one too, especially hearing that it wasn't a pain to stitch. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. I would absolutely recommend this chart, it really was nice and stress free to stitch. I thinking the back stitching would be a pain on Aida but then I hate doing any but the most straight forward back stitching on Aida fabric.
DeleteWhat a lovely finish. I am a Somebunny fan:-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the adorable finish. Such a cute design.

Thanks so much for your comment. I'm very happy with how this turned out. Somebunny charts are so cute.
DeleteSuch sweet stitching!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. I think I may be slightly obsessed with Somebunny patterns.
DeleteVery cute! I'll be interested to see the wall hanging when done. Connecting Threads is one of my favorite online fabric shops, high quality fabric and pretty reasonable prices.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a very cute finish! I am looking forward to seeing what fabric you have picked & how it works out as a wallhanging :-) So glad you enjoyed this stitch (else it might've put you off Somebunnies for good ;-) ) I agree it would be a perfect stitch for a little baby girl. Have a lovely week,

Very pretty! I stitched two Somebunny pictures for my first baby's nursery - he is now almost 7 and they have had to come down! I'm interested to see how you get on with making it into a wall hanging.
ReplyDeleteWhat a super cute design and you're right it would make a great new baby gift! :) x

ReplyDeleteoh that is just adorable! I love Somebunny designs and have collected a few, I've yet to stitch one though. Good luck with making it into a wallhanging, you'll be fine, it's not hard.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You did a wonderful job. You can't tell it was slightly warped so you must have done a great job in sorting it out :) I look forward to seeing how you finish it :)
ReplyDeleteYou've done a fantastic job with this! I'm really pleased that it wasn't as painful as your last Somebunny:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for following me.
