Hello everyone, it has been a busy three weeks but I have The little peacock sewing etui below is designed by Jenny Adin-Christie and this was where I was up to the last time
I had sewn the inner potion of the tail and had began to sew the feathery stitches in a metallic thread. The next challenge was to add the fettuccini ribbon to the outer edges. The ribbon is beautiful when you get to grips with working with it as it does fray so easily. It does give a wonderful shiny texture to the tail. I did not try to get the two sides symmetrical as I think this would have been near impossible.
The picture below shows an afternoons work! So it was very slow going.
Many thanks for popping in and look forward to catching up in three weeks time.
Happy stitching.

I love the texture that ribbon adds; it looks to be worth the effort of slow stitching!
Thank you Kathy
That’s beautiful. I really like the look and texture of all the different threads/ribbon. The ribbon does look fiddly to work with, but the effect is so worth it.
It is fiddly, but gives a great finish
I have never seen ribbon like that. It makes an absolutely gorgeous edging, but I can imagine that it takes a lot of concentration to work with it.
It is the first time that I have used it too.
that looks amazing already!
thank you
You are very clever, it looks so intricate and lots of concentration and patience . Cannot wait to see the finished project.
It will be a long wait I am afraid!
Wow that ribbon is really cool! I love all the texture and colors (green is one of my faves) Great progress 🙂
There’s so much to look at and admire already!
I can’t wait to see this finished! Looking lovely
Is this beautiful? Yes, it is!!!!!
Very slow going, but interesting materials that produce unique effects often are. It will be worth the effort, for sure!
A stunning bit of ribbon and well worth the fight!
As always, I’m speechless when I look at your work. It’s fascinating and exquisite!
