I know it has been FOREVER since I posted so I thought I would start with a custom project I did for a dear friend of ours. He had placed a request on facebook for someone with sewing experience to make a prayer shroud for him with maybe a little embroidery on it. Since I am NOT the sewer so much I offered to embroider if anyone wanted to do the sewing part. After a time with no responses I offered to crochet a border on a piece of muslin material.
So I began with this....
After some trial and error at exactly how I was going to accomplish such a feat. I say that because I've never done a crochet edging on material before and I really wasn't sure how to go about it. That first row seemed to take forever but once I got a good rhythm going it wasn't so bad.
Some details of the edging.
It turned out to be about 36 inches wide and about 63 inches long. I found that the corners curled a bit more than I liked but other than that it is absolutely beautiful! ....if i do say so myself ;) I will definitely be up for making more and can't wait to try this technique on a fleece blanket!! Ya want one?? Send me a message and we can design something together!
I've completed so many projects for the grandbaby that I need to put up but we're in the process of packing up to head for Texas. Much more to come though...stay tuned!
