Friday Tip – Stitching & Chalking

23
Oct
6 Comments

Today I will show you a very simple way to change the colour of your stitching without too much fuss. Sometimes it can be more of a pain to keep changing the bobbin in our sewing machines, just to match the colour of our paper/project. So, as to save time in the future keep your cotton in your machine to the basic white, do all the stitching you need to do.

Now the fun starts…

Pull out your {Pebbles} chalks and start to run over your stitching with the colour of your choice. Once you have done that, I simply used my {Pebbles} eraser to rub off the excess chalk, only the colour remains behind on your cotton…and voila, your have matched your cotton to your paper/project and nobody is none the wiser…

Here is the final project completed with the stitching in the colour of my choice to match my project.

Here is a layout done by Emeline Seet. She used a running stitch at the base of her layout and she added some colour to her white flowers by using the chalks.

This layout was designed by Maureen Blanc, of her beautiful new baby boy.  She used some stitches on the pattern paper as a border. Also added blue chalk around the edges of the layout, to give it a great soft baby effect.

Now, I hope this {TIP} will get you to sew more on your beautiful projects.
