Ok...I have another obsession. It's alright...I can admit it! :) You see...this new obsession is hand-sewing on my pages. I think the tiniest of stitches makes for the perfect detail. :)
At first, I was a bit intimidated but once I gave it a shot, I quickly realized how easy it really is. It takes just a few pre-punched holes by using a paper piercer, needle and floss.
I begin my stitches from the back side of the paper...
And place a small piece of tape to keep the end of the floss in place.
There are so many different stitches you can use but here are a couple of my favorites. Mind you, I by no means can even sew a button so this is huge for me! (Ok...No laughing! I can hear you!) :)
But you want to know what is even more fun than sewing? Collecting of all these pretty colored flosses! :)

ReplyDeleteI love hand sewing on my layouts and cards. Can't sew a button on a shirt for the life of me either, but on a layout it is so fun.
