My first class was a Sashiko Table Runner. The pattern for the runner is "The 10 Minute Table Runner" and can be found on various websites.
We made flowers on an embroidery machine with texture magic
sandwiched between two layers of organza.
While the flowers were stitching in the embroidery machine, we moved to a Babylock Sashiko machine and sewed some meandering lines down the length of the fabric.
You can see the sashiko stitching on the photo above.
Next step was to add piping to each long side, sew sides together and finish ends. The flowers were cut out close to the stitching and then steamed so they would crinkle. Two layers of the flower were attached to a covered button and attached to the table runner.
My next project was a Card or Note Holder Board. All of the sewing was done on a Babylock Evolution Serger. We made belt loops with the belt loop attachment and they were a lot of fun to make. The board has a nice print in the center with Peltex sandwiched in-between for stability.
The edges are finished with a wave stitch.
Finishing touches are the buttons and a fabric rose, also made on the serger.
My last project was a small clutch or cosmetic bag made entirely in the hoop
on a Babylock Elissimo, and that includes the zipper!!

Making cathedral windows in the hoop, how great is that!

Now that I put the finishing touches on these projects, I'm ready to get started on some new projects with my new found inspiration.
