I am working on a Japanese yarn dyed quilt. I am thinking of quilting it boro style. So to see how it would look, I did a couple of quilting test pieces. I'm not sure if I like the bumpiness you get when going through the batting. But this might be due to me quilting too densely. I used a verigated thread on this one. I might do another test peice using the white and another using an ecru or cream.
My apologies to those who've seen this post before. However, Blogger messed with the original and the video (the whole point of the post) was deleted. So I am reposting the article.
I know when I was trying to work it out, it was a bit tricky
installing (?) the slide clasp on the purse. I went looking and there
was no YouTube video? The horror. So I made one. It's my first go, so
be kind. I hope it helps.
Another kit, this time from Indigo Niche. Took no time at all to work up. I did this one with the white thread supplied. Might make another one using the verigated thread so it matches everything else.

EDIT: My apologies to those who visited and the video wasn't on the page. The video code was being deleted. But it should be below now.
There aren't really any in progress shots for this one. It was pretty quick and easy to make. I used a kit by Indigo Niche. I'm normally not a big fan of purses etc. But I really love the clasp on this one and the boro work for the body. Instead of the traditional white thread, I used a verigated crochet cotton. Again, I usually had verigated thread but I love it for boro work. I got the thread from BeBe Bold. If you are interested in just the slide clasp, you can get those from Studio Mio.
If you buy stuff from these guys and they ask, tell them I sent you, they might give me free stuff!!
If you've never seen a slide clasp in action, here is a quick video.
You may notice that I haven't posted for a while. I've been having real world issues which means I haven't been doing much craft work. I've been doing Uni (anyone in Australia, if your looking for a records or archives person, email me!!) so not much sewing time.
I hope to change that, at least I will post about what little I do.
