Well….

mat2

I got out my favorite Clover pins.

(Technically these are for light/sheer fabrics,

but I’ve used them for many fabric weights.

You can buy them on Superbuzzy, but I’ve also found them at Joann’s.)

mat3

Did a little chain sewing…

mat4

…see how you can save thread if you’re

sewing lots of pieces together at once?

mat1

Gave them a good ironing with my Clover Iron.

(Also purchased at Joann’s.)

mat5

Stitched them all together with a bit of linen in the center.

mat6

Ironed on a little teapot sketch.

mat7

Got out my smallest embroidery hoop.

mat8

And embroidered this steamy little fella.

mat9

Time for a tea break!

Be back soon with the finished piece!

Cheers!

Jenn : )
