Couch and movies

The Thunderbolts/New Avengers have to decide which winter movie they'll watching. No guns and knives allowed. XD

🦢 my sweet swan pt. 4 (finale)

Once completed, the stretch in the shiny fabric resulted in a beautiful “cushion” effect. Couching gold cording around the opening hid all the securing stitches, and the ones around the swan were done in shiny, red thread just in case. Instead of regular quilting, each white center of the frame’s flowers contained a singular thread tack- like hand tying but you can’t see the knot. Yellow ochre wire ribbon was throughly tacked down in the “return” part of the pleats, occasional tacking along visible edges.

Mind blowing gold thread couching for this antique obi depicting a Chinese-styled dragon (seriously this couching must have taken ages to sew on considering what a pain in the ass couching is!).

This obi is paired with far quieter striped kimono with kanji spelling "rising dragon" (昇龍).

After 2-3 months working on it she is done

would have finished sooner if I hadn't changed up the embroidery style to do the flames.

Learned quite a lot, might post progress shots at some point. Most important lesson is:

If you do a couching stitch. Plan it out beforehand. Don't be me and fuck around because like fuck did I find outttt
