Floral Glove Needlecase - Gold Lace added<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve been prevaricating on the finishing process for the Floral Glove Needlecase<\/a>, because it will involve glue, and I’m clumsy with that sort of thing.<\/p>\n

I’ve worked very hard on the embroidery, I’m quite pleased with most of it, and I don’t want to fall at the last hurdle!<\/p>\n

Finally, however (largely because I’ve been blogging about it and felt I should finish what I started!) I’ve screwed my courage to the sticking point, printed out the instructions and promised myself I would read everything twice before starting any stage of it.<\/p>\n

That’s one of the effects I hoped blogging would achieve – providing encouragement to finish things properly.\u00a0 So I think we can count that as a success, can’t we!<\/p>\n

What you see here is stage one of the fifth month’s instructions – adding the gold lace to the edge and around the tabs. This has actually been fairly simple, in that the lace has loops on the straight edge, and the whole thing is done with a single length. No joining ends to worry about, just making sure that the lace is neatly attached along the line, carefully controlled at the corners, and back-to-back on the lines separating the tabs.<\/p>\n

I’m pleased with this. In real life it has a lovely sparkle and – yet again – the addition of further embellishment seems to have brought it to life even more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
