One wayward surgical stitch has been driving me crazy after the breast cancer surgery. All healing quite well and the stitches were meant to be self disolving, most of them did disolve.. Let's face it though, there's always one and no matter what I tried, it was determined to stay with me! But this evening I went in with a fierce determination, ouch, however I got the little blighter, it have gone, such relief!

sneak peak...

a medium #repair project gets a nice touch (yes, its the backside of the decor )

Hope it will be done within the next days. I'm very curious how it turns out!

Yesterday I started a new project: a textile #scrollBook, something like an #artBook as a #scroll.
The photo shows my work to find a collage composition. When I'm satisfied with that sample, I'll fix the pieces with wild #embroidery. Later I'll "write" with #stitches. More info: alt text!

Question for more experienced/knowledgeable hand sewers — what's a good stitch for attaching a stretchy patch to a stretchy garment? I assume I need something with some elasticity, that can be worked around the edge of the patch. Thanks!

Happy (late) birthday, stuffin’~

I bought a hand #sewing machine, adjusted it as it was shown in the manual and tried sewing, but the machine missed #stitches.
I checked lots of long creepy videos on adjusting similar models, but anyway there were no clues what to do in my case.

Yesterday I finally found a useful manual, which helped me solve the problem. It was a manual for a very similar Soviet hand sewing machine from 1991.
Now I suppose I’m a good El*n who learned Russian to access Soviet technological secrets…
