Almost Finished!

Yesterday I chose the base fabric for my row house pins. The next step was embellishing the fabric and stitching all over it with Sulky Sliver Thread. Then the embroidery machine did its work! I still have to trim the threads from the edges of the houses. Have a look:
Before stitching


Before cutting out and snipping threads!
Ready for the backs. I use recycled leather and suede
for the backs of my wearable art pins.

    These are simply gorgeous. I've often made a similar style of background fabric but you've inspired some new ideas. Thanks.
