The inspiration for this weeks A-Z tag challenge at ukstampers came from a picture in the Magic Patch magazine No 34. I don’t do sewing but my mum gave me the magazine as it had a few interesting projects in it. The seams in the curtain come to the outside and are left fluffy and I love the effect. I stamped a few images onto muslin which I the stuck onto squares of card. Some squares (of cloth and card) were just coloured with the direct to paper technique. These were then all joined up fairly randomly. The background for the curtain is meant to represent a door. Yes, I know some of the squares look a little squint – I did get in a real mess with my glue and the muslin slid a bit on the card, also the fluffy seams kind of stick out at funny angles making things look a little wonky. I had fun making it though.
