I've just finished a Patch Work Hare suitcase, ready for my next Hope and Elvis workshop in November.
That little suitcase had been sitting in my studio, sighing, waiting for a little bit of love and attention.
So I thought I would embroider on my favourite scrips and scraps and see what happened.
I'm always nervous when working on vintage pieces in case I spoil their aged beauty.
I hope I haven't, and I did have fun!

ReplyDeleteThank you me dear, it's been a long time since Mini Goth modelled for me x
DeleteHoe lovely! It works brilliantly and it does look like you had fun.xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, I really enjoyed making this x
DeleteWhat a fun idea, and no, you did not spoil the suitcase at all. I've found that if I don't like something I'm working on, I have to keep going and make it really over the top - sometimes it works!
ReplyDeleteI k kW just what you mean Val, sometimes you've just got to go for it! X
DeleteIsn't he a sweetheart? He looks right at home on his suitcase!
