Good morning. Gina Barrett (Gina-B
Silkworks) had some great shows on Hochanda TV on Sunday (17th March
2019). The first show was with the FAB ribbon flower ruching tools. If you
missed it they do keep the video up online (https://www.hochanda.com/)
for a couple of weeks (go to TV schedule, select Sun 17th Mar –
click watch button next to show listing).
These are fantastic tools for
quickly marking out ribbon with a variety of ruching patterns. Simply stitch
along the marked lines and gather to create gorgeous ruched trims and flowers.
Gina has also put up a Flower
Comb instructional video on her YouTube Channel so you can see how the
Flower Combs work.
The combs can also be used to
mark out stitching guide lines for quilting, pleating and smocking designs too.
I have had so much fun creating
samples for the show and have lots to share over the next few days.
Woven Floral Bangle with Ribbon Ruched Flower
To create the woven bangle I used the Beadalon Bangle
Weaver Tool (Beads Direct), recycled sari
silk strips, monofilament and a few beads.
I have already blogged full
instructions on using the bangle weaver tool.
I used the Rococo
Flower Comb set (Gina B Silkworks) to create the satin ribbon flower
embellishment; ribbons varying in width from 15mm to 3.5cm. The flower centre
was finished with microbeads and a pearl cabochon, glued in place with Fevicryl
(glue designed to stick beads and gems to fabric).
Off to write up blogs for my
other samples. Back soon xxx.
