Sewing

I just love all the cards out there that have sewing on them. It's a fantastic element on cards and adds visual interest and great texture. I have wanted to try sewing for some time but just thinking about it brings back awful memories of my home ec teacher. Well I finally decided to give it a go and this is my first card with stitching. It's not the straightest sewing and I see some things that definitely need improving but overall I'm pleased and I think I'll attempt it again!
























For some really great sewing stop by Heather's photostream here and Lucy's blog here. They have the most fabulous cards!

Thanks for stopping by!
