As I work part time in a high street retail shop; Peacocks
(which I love!) my manager is leaving us this week and becoming an area manager
for another company. She’s worked with me and my colleges for about a year and
has been a really supportive manager.
I felt I wanted to give her a little present as a thank you
and good luck gift but being that funds are tight (to say the least) I wondered
if I could make her something.
So….. being that a couple of months ago, I made a fabric
stuffed heart for a friend-it wasn’t the greatest but not bad for a first attempted
I suppose, I thought I would try something along the same line. And it went
really well!!
Using fabric I got in and around the house: calico, thin
cotton sheeting and red cotton twill, I then-unusually for me-taking my time; embroidered
it! With yellow and clear beads and hand
stitched in red, white and yellow cotton thread. I also used leather and burnt “Good
Luck” into it and then stitched it onto the heart as well as a leather hoop for
hanging the heart.
For someone who doesn’t have much patience for hand sewing
bits or embroidery, I do feel quite proud of this piece and have proven to myself
I can do little things like this if I try.
My little fabric heart!
