Finished Egg Treat Bag by Shepherds Bush






Well, the afternoon went into the evening of finishing this Easter Treat Bag by Shepherd's Bush.  I finished the stitching, pressed the outer linen on the reverse side, then attached tediously the beading. I love the look that the beads add to the design!

I went to step number 3 at directions in starting to pull threads and hemstitching and I didn't do such a good job at that and very afraid of pulling the wrong threads so I finished in a regular manner with a ribbon I had in my stash. There was a pretty tiny pink ribbon which would have gone perfectly through the hemstitching but I was a chicken (no pun intended) and then stuffed it temporarily until I find some candy to put in it.

I then attached the charms in the kit to the ends of the bow. I have to admit my favorite is the Mr. Bunny charm! He reminds of Peter Cottontail, of which the program I never miss each year at Easter.

Off now to another WIP of whatever strikes my fancy in a minute. Keeping my hands busy.

Nite,
Jennifer
