In a previous post, I mentioned the embroidered shawl I have been planning. Originally, I wasn’t going to write anything about this project until the fall thinking I would enter it in the fair. But, I’ve decided it is far more fun to share.
Right now I’m still in the planning & prep stage. I have an assortment of original embroidered shawls to pull from as well as emboidery designs. Once I decide on the design, this what I have in mind…
Step 1 – Wash the wool as it has soiling from sitting in the store I picked it up from. Hang dry.
Step 2 – Square & fringe.
Step 3 – Block out the border placement & corner motif.
Step 4 – Bite the bullet & chalk/mark in the design. I’ll either use a cut template or trace if the wool is transparent enough.
Step 5 – Embroidering, lots of embroidering
