More Chenille Scarves

Here are my recent chenille scarf experiments. See earlier postings about the chenille making process or check out my website, www.sewingbymaudy.com for details.

Holiday Stocking with chenille

Using faux chenille strips, I have embellished repurposed wedding dress stockings.

Faux Chenille

I have been experimenting with faux chenille. It is a process of cutting wide strips of woven bias cloth and stacking them in 7 layers. Then I stitch parallel lines and cut between the stitching 3 layers on each side. Once all the cutting is complete faux chenille is washed and dryed several times creating a pile nap.

Varsity Jacket Banner

Every time I looked in my closet, I would spot my old varsity jacket. Knowing I would never wear it again but not able to get rid of it, I remade it into a banner.

Nursery Set

Thank you Mikki for sending this photo of your nursery. I made the crib skirt, bumper covers, canopy, and bows.

Zipper rosette embellishments

I continue to perfect my zipper rosettes. I am adding not only vintage buttons but also jewelry pieces / parts. I'm finding better ways to attached the zippers to my fabric strips and playing with the fabric width.

Felted Holiday Stocking

I was given 5 felted thrift store wool sweaters and was asked to make simple holiday stockings. Notice the hanging loop is attached to the front of the stocking. I liked the angle of hanging drop this created. These stocking are also lined with a simple cotton fabric.
