continuing boro

Still a bit weak, but I'm back !
Flu is such a silly illness 
(most of the time)
but it can knock you right of your socks
Now it's over, so : 
time to continue Boro

Ha, só many pieces have already been replaced,
which was to be expected, of course !
But the pieces at the bottom of the back I was sure about 
are now being "glued" to the fabric of the jacket
(noooo,  no real glue of course, but Jude's "glue-stitch" )
Raw edge or needle-turned, just as it goes

and then other stitches follow ...

Mmmmm, I love how the "pattern continues" 
from one piece of fabric to the next
The shibori : I purchaged from Glennis Dolce
who brought it with her from Japan,
(ouch ..... and I cut right into it ...)
the piece that it connects is from an old cushion cover 
I already cut into before :  for this

The eyes I found in the "Blaudruck" fabric are finished now 
and there will be a bit of colour in the flowers

Even a lot more colour on the top ánd the front of the jacket
(is my plan)

  1. I'm cheering you on from the side-lines, Els! Got my fabrics sorted, now need to start cutting and tacking. How exciting!

    Glad you have shaken off the bug - yes, it is silly but it also does knock you for six. Take care, and a Happy Easter to you and yours. Lxxx
