Started my challenge to upcycle this old tablecloth for Christmas
Firstly I have sewn some background fabric in centre then needle turned a Christmas rose appliqué which I cut from fabric
I then added a light doilie to soften the image , thinking some embroidery next
I would like some feedback what do you think so far ?
Looks really pretty Liz. So delicate. I love Sally-Ann's idea of beads or metallic thread. x
That's absolutely fascinating, Liz!
It's actually muted blue and greys sarah this is why I added the doilie to tone down the rose
Some very good ideas so far, I would never of thought of putting a doily over the main rose, can't wait to see what else you do , very inspiring.
Looks fabulous and very pretty and delicate. I must admit I'm a sucker for a bit of sparkle at Christmas. Maybe a few teeny tiny beads on the doilie and then similar gently scattered on the main square lacy part. Or some small snowflakes embroidered with metallic threads x
I think it looks good so far. It’s hard to tell the colors in the photo is it silver and gold?
