I have taken up Sharon Boggin's challenge to make a crazy patched hussif for myself. Sharon does exquisite work and is an extremely generous stitcher. I have enjoyed visiting her blog for a number of years - check it out and see what I mean.
A hussif is a sewing roll in which sewing requisites are stored. I plan to make a book rather than a roll with a soft front and a stiffened back.
I went with an orange theme as my daughter has been working on a major project for her design course at TAFE and there are many bright scraps around. I didn't factor in what the other colours would do when I patched them all together but I will keep adding more thread, stitches and whatnot and see what comes of it. I am enjoying just picking up and adding a line here and there.
I will post some more in about a week and a bit when I have added more stitches and hopefully taken a photo with truer colours.
