Fleurs de coton

Jardin Privé a une grille gratuite sur son site, intitulée Fleurs de coton....
Ceux qui connaissent Cucki auront surement pensé comme moi, cette grille était faite pour elle =)
Et comme c'était son anniversaire le week end dernier, j'ai décidé de me lancer dans cette grille...


J'ai respecté les couleurs préconisées mais en les prenant en lin pour changer....
Le résultat est plus doux qu'avec du coton,  mais les fils ne sont pas si agréables à travailler !
De la trousse que j'avais faite pour Mii il me restait du tissu qui suivait parfaitement avec le motif...


Une petite breloque chat, très Cucki elle aussi, et hop hop hop une nouvelle petite trousse
Ça faisait longtemps =D
La prochaine fois...on repasse au coussin...
A très vite

Jardin Privé has a free chart entitled Fleurs de coton (Cotton flowers) that you can find here.
Those who know Cucki maybe had the same reaction as I had...this chart was made for her =D
Don't you find ?
That's why this is the one I chose for her birthday last weekend 
I used the recommended colours, but instead of cotton I used the linen threads. 
The result is sweet, even if the linen is a bit less pleasant to use... I find it easily frays, so don't make too long lengths if you use linen =)
But really linen makes beautiful stitches and I enjoyed the stitching anyway. 


I added a charm also 'very Cucki'... her sweet Maloo of course =)
I made her a pouch, using the fabric I already used before for Mii, for the back and inside.
This fabric was really perfect for this design !! Sue Bonnet everywhere =)
I can't remember where I found it !
Another zipped pouch yes, but next post will surely show a pillow 
Coming soon then....

      linen threads give a special stitch I find sweet
      just don't too too long lengths with them...
