There is an upholstery shop in Whakatane where they sell old samples and offcuts for really cheap. My mom has uncovered the greatest finds and has long term plans of waiting until current stock is deemed past-it so she can snap it up. I brought about five variants of this nice fabric (60cm x 40cm approx) for $2. I made this for my friend and her husband who bought their very own adult house this year.
It was so nice to do embroidery for leisure! All of the lettering is done freehand - I don't draw on the fabric first. To me, embroidery is just a slower version of drawing anyway, the methodology has to be considerate so there is less of a chance to make mistakes!
