So far, I’ve resisted the temptation to look at Pinterest – I know when I do I’ll be under its spell….and I’m weeeaaakkk! I’m another one who gets inspiration from Etsy and stitching/crafty blogs, lol!

Last night I went over to one of my friends from the stitching group – she lent me the use of her sewing machine as we chatted and laughed. After doing household chores this morning I made a start on the Sweater that I stuffed up when cutting out….over the seam (that wasn’t meant to be), I’m hand embroidering a ‘lacing-up’ effect to “mask” it. I’m not wanting to hide the seam completely, as I can’t….what I’m wanting to do is give the effect that the ‘lacing-up’ is meant to be a part of the Sweater design naturally….of course, it could end up looking like a Picasso that’s been painted whilst drunk and then I have to unpick it all and start again! LOL! ….Here’s hoping that doesn’t happen, lol!

Lacing-up effect...
