Blind ...




Here i have placed and pinned died doilies together as i would like my blind to be, they are quite close together at the top then get more spaced apart as they go down with gaps in-between like they are decaying away.I wanted the doilies to look like they have a random layout with an uneven edge that follows the outlines of each doily, this will contrast with the sharp, straight lines of the cotton organdy that will be sewn to the doilies above.


 

Doilies all sewn together i made sure i matched the colour of each thread to the doily and used tiny stitches so they were not visible
 

Using the same method as i did with the paper collage, i did with this fabric piece, i have used new and old pieces some that i have died different colours


I've left a raw egde to give that rustic, worn look, and sewn some loosely so it adds a bit of depth and made to look feather like.
