Note: Materials listed above
are for the entire project –
there will be separate listings
for the fabrics used in each
part. Requirements are based
on fabric 107cm (42in) wide.
Refer to the Fabric Key for
the Tilda ‘Autumntree’ and
‘Sweetheart’ fabrics used
in this project. Natalie used
leftover print fabrics to make
a pieced binding so omit
binding fabric from the
requirements if you wish to
do the same. The appliqué
method used is needleturn,
but you can adapt the
instructions to your preferred
method. Seam allowances
of^1 ⁄ 4 in are used throughout
for the piecing. Natalie likes
to use a very fine milliner’s/
straw needle for both the
appliqué and embroidery
- a No 11 from Patchwork
with Busyfingers is her
favourite. Stitcheries that
are embroidered directly
onto the background fabric
benefit from some lightweight
fusible interfacing/stabiliser
behind them to hide the
thread shadows – Natalie’s
preference is Vlieseline
H410/316. Two strands of
embroidery thread are used
throughout, unless otherwise
stated. Instructions are
given for working from the
printed Pattern Sheet in
the magazines, but you can
download the digital patterns
from http://www.homespun.net.au
and print them out instead.
