| Title: | My happy place embroidery |

| Date: | Aug 2021 |
| Original Size: | fits 36 inch chest |
| Notes: | Machine embroidery on the back (lining?) of a waistcoat. The waistcoat is reversible - the other side is made from the "my happy place" weaving. The cotton for this layer was treated with soda, and the figures sketched freehand with thickened dye. After rinsing it was treated with soda again, then tray dyed in pleats to give the wave effect. Pieces of fabric were then pieced to fit the waistcoat shape, and then layered with shaded organza and machine embroidered. After that I cut the felted weaving and the cotton to fit my waistcoat pattern, and sewed them together. Eventually I will quilt through the layers.
