Needle Cushion



Recently I tried to do embroidery on satin. I've taken some 'left over' fabrics from the bridal studio I've earlier signed on with. Hahaha. The designer very good leh. Give me quite a few and the colors are very vibrant too. I've bright RED too. Woohoo

Satin is not cheap. Duchess? Satin is most expensive i supposed among the normal satin we find here in Sg. Normally its used for Bridal Gowns due to its thicker texture.

Anyway, previously I've tried to do a pillow cushion too but thats a big failure. Because I dont know how to do the last edge (3 edges i sew on wrong side of fabrics then i turn out to right side of fabrics). I simply sew across the last edge. so u can imagine 3 sides same finishing, 1 weird edge is wrong kind of press. This time round, I understand that I am supposed to HAND SEW on the last finishing. chey! Too think that I thought sewing machine works wonder! Maybe next time, a 20k machine can insert a needle like human hands and start 'hand sewing' this type of last touch up.

i want to do one for the designer too! Give him one pin cushion because I think thats the most useful thing for him? Plus can show case also hehehe. and I saw this shawl at Liang Court. $100 or $200++. I think its hand embroidery on silk material. I'm going to try on organza? and then use machine embroidery instead. Stay tune!
Da da...... my *big* needle cushion.
