Title: Mini Challenge 3 - Sparkle and Shine (23-30 Nov) - Knitters welcome
Post by: SewRuthieSews on November 21, 2020, 18:05:18 PM
Mini challenge three is to sew or knit something with a little sparkle or shine.

So you could use fabric or yarn with metallic threads, use a printed fabric which has something sparkle themed (stars, Christmas trees, lights, lighthouses etc) or you can embellish something with beads/diamante etc depending on your personal style.

I am planning a black and silver sparkly top for those Christmas zoom events!

Ooh does this have to be clothes?  I’m already making something with sparkles and shine but don't know if that is allowed as it’s already started.  :)

Ok well I’m halfway through something sparkly then!   :thumbsup:
It’s a 6 panel machine embroidered Appliscape for Xmas.  It has sparkly thread in gold and silver as well a fabric with metallic gold in it.

Might be able to join in this one as I've ordered some gold and silver metallic thread to make some Xmas tree ornaments on the embroidery machine. Just waiting for delivery. -<
