The WI Knit, Stitch and Yarn Group Again

 Here's the finished stitching for the little bookmark started last month- on the left is how it should have looked with the kit and on the right how I altered it to fit a smaller card.

 

 Double sided sticky tape soon got it fixed into the bookmark card and tucked away to make a little gift.

 That meant I needed something else to take along to the group this week .

This is one of the charts bought for 25p from the car boot sale last month. I bought it because of the tea-cup design as I knew I'd got a couple of plastic bits for making coasters that need stitching inside and a teacup seemed quite apt.

 

The original kit made another sort of book mark with the stitching backed with felt and attached by a plaited thread to that little tag thing - meant to represent a tea-bag - that  you can see above the teacup chart.

I'll just be doing the tea cup and will trim it to size, back with a piece of card and put it inside the coaster which is two pieces that clip together.

Back Tomorrow
