The customer was very specific and sent me images of her glass topped dining table with a silhouette of creepers and flowers across it.
I found a very sweet little baby dress in velvet from a local charity shop (a very rare find!), and this was used for the applique. I kept it in one colour as requested.
I hand drew, cut and transferred the pattern to the velvet, and then it was all down to the machine! Two machines later...a long story...but after a few headaches it was done, and finished with some beautiful vintage buttons that I had been keeping for something special, adorned with "Betty Page" on them!
I have to say I was quite pleased with it when finished, but this lady would make a bin liner look good don't you think?!
