I like that you linked the shirt with the landscape imagery, as I am always hoping to make pieces that are connected with what surrounds me.<br /><br />Grace: yes, a white shirt no more and even better: I now wear it and it feels wonderFul.<br /><br />yes Mo and Linda: cloth alchemy, sometimes the magic happens....<br /><br />Suzanna: hmmm, those cuffs were a lot of work as I initially sewed them on with the 'neat side' showing and realised I preferred the rough edges and so had to undo them and stitch them on again! I will definitely do this again, straight away that is.<br /><br />oh Dee, that is a lovely idea; and also I have always meant to make a map-like-drawing of my walks, or use the meandering as a kind of guide for the stitching, why haven't I actually done that? you might ask. I don't have a good answer, but I must get round to that Soon!Saskiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10974723368542754165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254503312795252536.post-66470041995134108492014-08-05T20:27:55.791+02:002014-08-05T20:27:55.791+02:00shirt as map... there seem to be whole worlds in t...shirt as map... there seem to be whole worlds in there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254503312795252536.post-4607555830146423642014-07-31T17:00:37.478+02:002014-07-31T17:00:37.478+02:00I love the inside-out treatment and the cuffs!
