2023 Projects

 

The following is a list of projects worked on in 2023. Some are still works in progress and will be detailed in future posts with more details.

Bottle Cap Pincushions

These were part of a Dirty Dozen gift basket competition where the challenge was to make a dozen items to be donated as largesse.  I had a blast making these sweet little pincushions out of bottle caps with fun colors and some colorful stitching.


 

 

 

Columbine Witches Hat

These cute knit hats seem to be all the rage this year but I just had to make mine more personalized. Columbine flowers and fairy ferns were crocheted out of sock yarn and stitched on to a lucet vine to make this hat really stand out in a crowd.
 






Early Period Slavic Overdress (In progress)

A raw silk over dress with detailed embroidered neckline, sleeves, and border. To date I have completed the neckline and sleeve embroidery and attached them to the garment. Trim still needs to be made and applied. As well as hemming and preparing for the detailed border pattern.
















Baba Yaga Reliquary Bag (In Progress)

A small bag that will hold a mortar and pestle. The type that Baba Yaga rides around in to cast her spells. Split stitch in cotton on linen with a silk lining. The feet will be stitched  and hung from the bottom for her iconic chicken foot hut.
