\"Sleeve<\/a>
Sleeve Motif 2, Stage1<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The second sleeve began in the same way as the first, with felt motif elements lightly needlefelted into place. There is a similar motif on the body of the coat, but with the colours reversed. Whether I will use similar colours in embellishing it, I don’t know – wait and see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am removing the tacked design outlines as I go, at least where they show around the edges. It may not be entirely necessary, but it’s much more satisfying not to be spotting them as I work, and I know I would spot them in the finished coat, even if no-one else could do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Another<\/a>
Another Leaf Detail<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The edges of the large leaves on the second sleeve began with straight stitches over the edges, using a wonderful mohair yarn from Gumnut Yarns. The different amounts of shine from the various threads I’m using will help to add another level of interest to the whole design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second level of detail is worked in Up and Down Blanket Stitch, which is a very old favourite. This time I’ve changed the relative heights of the two uprights to create a more varied effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Sleeve<\/a>
Sleeve Two Flower Detail<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There’s a lot going on with the flower motif; Thorn Stitch on the lilac petals and a variant of Loop Stitch on the purple ones, using different thread colours to change the emphasis on the colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crested Chain Stitch in teal edges the flower shape (given it’s a Jacobean style design, realism has nothing to do with it – I’ve not the vaguest idea what sort of flower it is supposed to be!) and I complicated matters for myself by working inward from the tips of the horn shapes to the centre. It is a directional stitch, so although most people won’t be able to notice that sort of detail, I think it is worth doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
