This lovely design of a spray of
roses was adapted from an antique filet crochet teacosy. Over the years I have
seen a number of similar teacosies featuring this design, so I imagine that the
design must have been very popular in the past, probably featuring in one of the
ladies magazines of the period. This panel has been designed to
fit neatly into the sleeve of a Clippy Cover Girl Bag, but of course it could be
used in a variety of decorative projects. This
particular design is worked on a 10 Count plastic
canvas, in tent stitch.
This stitch is explained in the downloaded materials. The
panel measures 22cm (8.6 inches) by 29.5cm (11.7inches). These
single colour designs are extremely easy and quick to
work and so are very suitable for complete beginners. There is no background to
be stitched, just the central motif, and so a design like this can be completed
in a few evenings. Once
the design is finished a coloured sheet of card, material or foam sheet 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. 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.
