Vintage

This is my second fabric book page for the book page swap at Stitchin Fingers. I made it for Trillian in Germany. I’ve also sent her a new ATC for the February ATC swap, because the first one was lost in the mail. I’ll show the ATC in another post, because I want to share the details of my block with you. It’s going to be a long post today!

On this crazy book page I only used TAST stitches. Here I stitched herringbone stitch with perle 5, Cretan stitch with perle 8 and French knots with 2 threads of stranded floss. The French knots are this week’s TAST stitch.

A Chevron stitch with 4 threads of stranded floss and long tailed slipped detached chain stitches with cotton a broder. The slipped detached chain is a TAST 2010 stitch.

The third seam is a feather stitch with detached chain stitches, both with 2 threads of stranded floss.

This seam is a row of flipped fly stitches with bullion knots (a TAST 2007 stitch). Both are done with cotton a broder.

A button cluster, the one on the right is a vintage button from an old coat.

Another TAST 2010 stitch, the buttonholed herringbone. I stitched it with 2 threads of stranded floss.

Here I used French knots to attach the ribbon with 2 threads of stranded floss.

Half buttonhole wheels and French knots with 2 threads of stranded floss. I used a template for this, because I didn’t want to use a water soluble marker on this fabric. I’ll share that in a later post.

Here I sewed a piece of hairpin lace on the seam. It’s one of my first small hairpin lace experiments, I wrote about it here.
