Project Updates

Hi all! I am so excited. I have been getting so much stitching done lately. First I want to show off the completed masquerade mask.

First I stitched the chain in place with a few detached chain stitches in two places. Then I ruched up the black and gold trim and tacked it around the outside of the mask. I added the red pipecleaners and a piece of ribbon to the right before stitching the lining to the mask inside out. I left an opening on the left side of the mask. After turning it inside out I inserted the feathers and ribbon and slip stitched the gap closed.

After the mask was constructed I glued a few rhinestones on for a glittery effect and voila! Masquerade!

I also made pair of cuffs with elastic underneath. They are made from a really nice wired ribbon I found at Michael's the other day. I siply cut and folded the edges ang stitched a piece of the black and gold ribbon over the raw edges. I inserted the elastic in and finished the cuff with a few rhinestones. Overall I am happy with the outcome for such a rushed project. Stitch and be happy!
