\"Cotton<\/a>

Cotton And Satin<\/p><\/div>\n

This shows the cotton twill with the basic outline transferred to it for embroidering. I decided that the whole ship would be made on this cotton twill and then the twill applied to the background fabric over the sky and sea fabrics, with some padding to raise it. I checked with my client (my cousin<\/a>, remember!) to be sure that she was happy with raised and padded appliqu\u00e9, rather than wanted something very flat, and on receiving an intrigued and enthusiastic “Go for it” started planning what would be padded and by how much.<\/p>\n

The photo also shows the satin that I chose for the hull, with the design, again, outlined in running stitches.<\/p>\n

\"Progress<\/a>

Progress on the hull<\/p><\/div>\n

The next stage was to apply a layer of navy net and a layer of navy gauze to the satin where the hull was in shadow, and stitch over those edges in navy satin stitch. I built up\u00a0 several layers of net at the forefoot, with lines of stitching to add form.<\/p>\n

Then I added a layer of tawny net to the light side of the hull to cloud the colour slightly and\u00a0 stitched along the main plating lines of the hull to help reveal the shape.<\/p>\n

The next stage on this piece was to stitch over all the edges that will not be covered by other stitches and fabrics to ensure that no raw edges show. At various stages in the project I chose different stitches for this job, but in this particular case I used buttonhole stitch to make the edge crisp and clear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
