Here is my first attempt at hand stitched applique. It is incredibly time consuming. Looks like my “Under The Sea” project will be a long term one!
Have fun! Avis x

Occasional Crafter
/ November 13, 2012Ha, have you seen finding Nemo? This one looks like the little chap in the tank.
Oh Sew Tempting
/ November 13, 2012No I haven’t seen it. I just tried to make him a little irregular which was difficult for me as I really wanted to make him from a perfect pentangle. The fabric was spotted in my stash by my OH. I was about to use my beloved solids 😉 I’m off to Google Nemo and friends 🙂
