stitching boro

I think the title of the last post 

was a bit misleading :

I didn't mean to say that 

"boro is boring"

Oh no, on the contrary, I would rather say that

stitching boro is fun !

stitching has begun 

The jacket (of an expensive brand) which I bought during sale at the end of a season,

is very well made.

Before I started pinning pieces to the jacket

I undid the bottom seam of the lining.

Then I put a magazine inside so I won't get through and through

when pinning or stitching my dear scraps.

There is some wonderful original 

"Einbecker Blaudruck"

which I bought years ago when on holiday in Germany.

This Wittram family handprinting business 

uses the same old woodblocks 

that are in the family for hundreds of years !

I often took it in my hands, admired it, and put it back in the drawer,

but now there is a long strip of it all along the backside 

and another pattern, with much bigger flowers on it, at the bottom.

Ha, and when I was glue-stitching it I saw the 

eyes !

you will see them more clearly when móre stitching is done

The inchies, leftovers of some other project and some biscornu's

have found their place next to the entrance of the pocket. 

Yes

it really is fun.

(much like brighten up your old jeans in the 70's)
