COMPLEX SHAPES
I again did some sketches to try and work through some ideas. I didn’t do samples of all of them, but they helped me work through what might work.
This was the least successful of the samples I think, because my stitching of the star shape is not even. And the green fabric is a little stiff probably.
This was the first of my attempts to create a star shape in the middle as a result of the stitching. So I used a square and a 4 pointed star to create an 8 pointed star shape in the middle padded area.
When I first drew this and before I stitched it, my plan was to pad each of the triangles created as well as the middle. However, because the stitching was too close in the smallest ones there wasn’t room to pad them. I could have solved that by undoing the middle row of stitching but I left it and stuffed the middle and top and bottom shapes created.
In this design, which is shown in detail below, I wanted to create a star shape in the middle from the beginning of each of the rows. I was quite pleased with this one and thought it worked out as I wanted.
This sample has hand stitching in a variegated thread around each of the edges and the centre is padded.
