This panel has been designed to
fit neatly into the sleeve of a Clippy Cover Girl Bag. The
cherub motif is the same as the one used in the Kneeling
Cherub Lace Cushion and is based on a design I found in an antique needlework
magazine, dating from around 90 years ago. This
particular panel is worked on a 10 Count plastic
canvas, in tent stitch.
This stitch is explained in the downloaded materials. It is a really simple
stitch and this design is perfect for beginners to attempt. There is no background to
be stitched, just the central motif, and so a design like this can be completed
in a few evenings. The
panel measures 22cm (8.6 inches) by 29.5cm (11.7inches). 
Once
the design is finished a coloured sheet of card, material or foam is placed
behind the canvas to provide the contrasting colour. You can change these sheets
from time to time to suit your mood or to match your outfit. It is also fun to
decorate the finished needlework further by stitching pieces of old lace,
buttons, or other accessories to the canvas, to make your own original work of
art! As you can see, the cherub looks equally charming with a pink or blue
background. The download below
contains a chart to follow and full instructions for making this item. The Clippy
bag and plastic canvas are
not included in the download, but can be purchased from our shop.
