Closed for Christmas!

The time has come to close down the directory blog for the Christmas break. I want to thank you all for your hard work sending me your features and helping to spread the DaWanda word... we have become quite a community!

I will be back on the 1st of January, so in the meantime...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Texture Inspiration at Sara's Texture Crafts!

http://en.dawanda.com/shop/SarasTextureCrafts/3589-Handmade-Supplies

Sara's Texture Craft Packs are designed to give you materials of inspiration for small projects, or for use in larger pieces of textile art.

Each kit contains:
 1 x 30cm square (approximately) of fabric
 3 x 15cm square (approximately) of fabric
 1m (approximately) of fancy thread
 20 x beads (approximately)
 30 x sequins (approximately)

Please note that each texture pack will vary, as some fabrics are hand dyed and others are cuttings from larger lengths or vintage scarves. Colours may also differ slightly to those pictured; this is an unavoidable difference resulting from digital photography. If you have any questions on colour please ask.

Suggestions for use in projects/crafts:
1. Machine embroidery
2. Embroidery
3. Card making
4. 3D relief work
5. Doll making
6. Appliqués on weaves

Thanks for looking...
