Using Silicone Oil As Makeup Primer

tutorial: Pouch embroidery threads

chichi: passion embroidery!
Christmas gift for parents dell'Altrametàdelcielo a square cross-stitch to the door of their room:

is part of an illustration of JB Monge called "bouilleurs de Cru"

I premise two things:
- the first is that, contrary to what is the practice of embroidery series, I've never used spiers short (I hate soldering the wires!) nor does it have cut in half skeins of embroidery (ie the ideal length of the spire) x 'I seem to "ruin" and to affect its use for other purposes. For the record, you should do so to get the yarn is always perfect: in fact at every step through the canvas it peels, soiled or likely to lose some gloss characteristics, and risk of entanglement, then if it was necessary to undo some of the work for an error, the yarn consumed x 'is too long to leave a halo of fluff hard to remove.
- over the years, but I have accumulated many skeins of different brands. But in general the patterns derive from a single brand in particular, which provide the color codes. There are several tables of codes of of different brands (for example, red corresponds to code 46 666 DMC Anchor), so when I want to make an embroidery, I control what colors it based on these tables, pointed at the side of the legend symbols-color scheme of any mine variations.
so far, when I found myself embroidering nuanced subject, I collected all the skeins in a bag in which I mingled with all and every change of color was a disaster: I do not know how long I'm all times to seek color I needed at that time and perhaps have to check if there was a surplus of spire in the middle of the hut ... did not know of the existence of organizer wire until I have not seen with the skills, but are designed precisely for the needs of the course above;
and so, I had an idea: make me a case where you store them in an orderly fashion, it's stuff so that we can Take note of the remains of pinnacles and munirla also a space to write references for the scheme.
tah-dan!

here is what you need:

- a rectangle of felt or felt measures: 50x30 cm (I chose this type of material x 'does not need to be hemmed to prevent fraying - less work, so ... - Former 'makes the hair friction and helps to keep as still as the cotton yarns)

- a rectangle of fabric other sizes: 50x30 cm;

- 2 bands (like pants) up a 46 cm long each cm;

- 2 strips of white paper sizes: 40x3, 5 cm;

- 160 cm at an angle (+ 60 more cm if you use it as a closure);
- 60 cm of tape / tape (optional)

- uhu liquid glue type;

- tailor's chalk or pastel in color contrasting with the pannolenci;

- ruler, scissors, utility knife and tape measure

and here's how:

- on the back of pannolenci (that is, the less hairy) chalk / pastel these references:

NB: if you cut the rectangles of the windows with the cutter, you can then use the strips for sealing tapes (which is what I did), or, if you prefer, you can use the tape , or other belts (I was going to use it a dell'erbolario) or the binding contour properly sewn on himself.

- on straight (The hairy part of the cloth), place a rubber band, slipping into the cracks ends. wanting to make things right (and not the wave of enthusiasm as I did ...) , you should baste the strap so that it is still in the seam, otherwise, go immediately to the sewing machine .
- just like the cases of children (when I was young there were those that occupied half the bench when they were opened, and now I know that they are compact, multi-storey blocks of crayons and markers) , elastic Stopped by a seam every tot, I have calculated a intervello between a seam and the other 1.5 cm. and not continue to cut the wire and then solder for 56 times (there are so many spaces that are created in all), I decided to make a seam single coil:

How did I calculate 1.5 cm sewing ?
with the tape measure placed on the canvas to the left foot of the sewing machine as a kind of guide. sure, so all spaces are not regular, but this, even if aesthetically you will not be much, has the advantage that it can also put the skeins already used and therefore thinner without slipping out of place.
otherwise, wanting to make a more precise and less ... homemade, with a ruler and chalk / pastel / Basting we mark all the references, sure it takes more time and given the end-use, I think you can do without a lot of meticulous (unless it is to make a gift or you do not want just a perfect thing)
- do the same for the other elastic.

now the hard part: Place the cards.
windows tend to warp, so I did it this way:
- I have spread the cloth well with the back up on the cutting base that is divided into so many lines and handles reference and if do not have it, use a cardboard on where you draw the rectangle 50x30 and position of windows.
- then I covered with glue and the outer edges of the cards I've pasted above

as you can see from the picture, I first placed the cards and after the bands, but it seams of the bands were a pain, because the cards are stiff and hinder a lot during the stitching of the elastic coil with the sewing machine
- then, on straight, I sewed all around the windows

- after which, with ruler and pen with fine point, I divided the card in many areas, corresponding to the elastic seams, and always with the pen I have also numbered in the upper left (just to know how many colors you have to do)

- I then soldered all the wires on the back of the cloth.

- then, wrong sides together, I sewed together along the perimeter of the cloth and the other stuff and then I basted all around and the binding tapes. I machine-stitched, welded wire and removed the basting.

now remains to use it:
after placing a skein for space under the elastic in the appropriate box I drew in pencil graphic approach approved in the scheme. After work, he stayed put the skeins in the same place and erase the pencil marks and fill the box for the new embroidery!
