House

I worked very hard tonite and finished sewing together the little tiny sewing house. It's lined in green silk fabric and the little trunk pincushion fits right inside. On each end of the house inside there is a decorative row of satin stitches. When you are finished with the side (prior to assembly) you carefully cut the threads between the two rows of satin stitches. Then you carefully cut the interfacing and skirtex. This leaves a little pocket you can put a tiny pair of scissors in.
Here is the front of the house looking very english gardeny. The pincushion is hiding inside.
Here is the side view of the house with it's roof in place. See the button by the eaves. You make your twisted cord with the button in place, then using an awl carefully open the eyelets you stitched prior and poke through all of the interfacing and skirtex. You thread the end of the twisted cord through this hole and then through the roof hole and then through another button (on the roof). The buttons have tiny little holes. This is a project that needs a lot of patience to finish and stitch.

At work today I worked on the witches skirt and now there is only a few more rows to go before the cast off.
