Some of My On-going Projects (今やってる手芸のあれこれ)

Hello again!

Feeling so ashamed of myself. As soon as I started this blog, I'm showing my laziness at full...
I wanted to write this from last night, and at last could make myself sit in front of the computer and write tonight...

Anyhow, before I could say anything more useless, I'm posting some pictures of my on-going projects.
The first one, I am making at my patchwork lesson.

Circle-Patterned Pouch Bag

I go to a patchwork lesson once or twice a month. It's near my home, and my teacher is such a nice lady. I really like her. To tell the truth, though I like stitching or embroidery very much, I didn't like patchwork that much earlier. That's why I started to go to this lesson just to give it a try; hoping this way, I might start liking patchwork. And this perfectly worked out. Recently, I kind of started liking patchwork... ^-^

Here is another thing I'm working on. Its material is a little unusual. It's made of Tatami-mat fringe. Usually in Japanese rooms, the floors are tatami mat covered. So you can well imagine that the material is quite hard and thick.
At first, I was quite surprised at the idea that a mat material can be turned into a beautiful corsage!!
I'm having quite a hard time putting beads or ribbon on this.... :)

Hope I can turn it into a beautiful corsage.
So, please come back again to see when I am finished :)

Let's see...



Tatami-mat Fringe Corsage

I hope to write again tomorrow or day after tomorrow. I'll keep you informed about my progress.

Talk to you again soon...

Love.

こんばんは!

ブログを始めて早速怠けちゃいました。
昨日の夜から書こう、書こうと思ってて、結局、今やっと帰るようになりました。
恥ずかしいですね。。。

で、今日は私は今やってるいろいろな物の中で二つの写真をのせてます。

一つ目は、パッチワークレッスンで習ってるレトロ風な布のポーチです。
私はいろいろ手芸が好きで、刺繍などは大好きだけど、パッチワークはもともと、あまり好きじゃなかった。
けど、知り合いの紹介で、家の近くに住んでる先生のお家に行って習いだしました。目的は、これでちょっとでもパッチのことを好きになればと思って。。。先生もとても優しくて。。。
嬉しいことに、最近けっこう好きになってきました。^-^

二つ目は、畳のヘリで作るコサージュ。
畳のヘリでこんなものできるかってすごく驚いたけど。
でもやってみてわかったのは、畳のヘリはとても丈夫なものですね!硬くてとても苦労をしてます:((

でも頑張るから、また完成品を見にきてください。
