JOURNALING - LACE OR FABRIC
SNIPPET STRIPS
A guide to making up Snippet Strips or Rolls. This is the way I have found to
be my best option. I hand stitch all my strips (not Glue ).
The featured Strip is 7 cms x 30 cms.
Starting with a strip of Poplin or soft cotton torn to size. then I add a layer
of fabric. In this case it is just a Cream Base, position the images to a place I am
happy with. Find a selection of Laces and Trims etc. and have a play with the
Colours, Positions and Design.
Next step is to hand tack down the Backing, Images and Laces. I find at times
the sewing machine is suitable but no gathering or tightness this way. Also
a slight movement of the piece because of the small scale, can be an added
bonus.
Then for the Fun of Slow Stitching, adding beads, charms, flowers etc.
I have completed this into a Journaling Inspiration Pack and will be adding
this to my Etsy Store. Images are from my Lavender Group printed onto
Cotton available in Store. More examples are available on Pinterest.
