A step further...

from my last post. I had cut off the end of the embellished fabric but hadn't known what to do with it or even where I was really going with the original piece...
...Pause....
I was looking at a comment made on one of my posts, I do check them all and visit their sites even if I don't directly comment. Thanks by the way for taking the time to comment everyone and to those who don't comment, thanks for visiting.
Anyway I have now realised that I have no idea how I came by the bottlecap pincushion tutorial so sorry I can't link to you but I can link to the actual tutorial on flickr .
The whole point of all this is that I decided to use up the excess embellished fabric on some of the bottlecaps that I've been collecting recently... I knew that they'd come in handy eventually!
Here are the results...

...decided that I would just let you feast your eyes on these...

I may add a little more stitching and beads on some.

I had been having a dilemma as to what embroidery stitch I would use and in the end I just went for simple running stitch and a herringbone stitch. Sometimes the simpler the stitch then the bettter the result. (Yes, there is a bottlecap in the base of each one!)

Anyway, hope you've enjoyed looking as much as I've enjoyed making them.

Watch this space, I definitely feel that there are more on the horizon!

Byee!
