http://madamerenard.blogspot.com/2015/07/my-embroidered-fox-as-work-of-art.html
Tutorials and free stuff. Saturday, 11 July 2015. My embroidered fox as a work of art. I wrote a long summer list of things to do at the beginning of June and I wrote the word "done! Beside a lot of my aims this week. Very proud of my self and my productivity! The funniest thing in the list was to give a purpose to a little work of cross stitch I finished last year. It's a fox face, important for me because foxes are a sort of totem for me. I could make a soft key-chain, like I did. About Ethical Life St...

Tutorials and free stuff. Thursday, 30 July 2015. Simple happy things - July 2015. Last year I worked on a little project and documented every single day of July (I've called it " July in 31 photos. Not the same, this year. July is very hot, I feel like I'm very down on batteries and I am not doing special things to capture with my camera (although I think that there's something special for us everyday and that happyness is hidden into simple things. But of course I took some snapshots here and there.

MadameRenard ... a self-expression journey! Eco-friendly sewing, rural life, creativity!: Tutorial: how to make fabric peonies
http://madamerenard.blogspot.com/2012/05/tutorial-how-to-make-fabric-peonies.html
Tutorials and free stuff. Sunday, 27 May 2012. Tutorial: how to make fabric peonies. Have you read my last post. It's about the bag I made for my friend Francesca, embellished by three fabric peonies. They are similar to my peonies brooches. Today I want to show you how I made them. A sort of tutorial :). I think this is a funny project to use some fabric scraps and to sew by hands (a relaxing activity, in my opinion, perfect to be done outdoor in summer). I hope you will appreciate my tutorial. And don'...

Tutorials and free stuff. Tuesday, 30 October 2012. Snowflake ornaments - the final post. The final post about my embroidered snowflakes has come, at last! I wrote about them in three different places ( 1. And now I can show you how they came out. After some reflections I finally decided to sew them as hexagons and stuff them with polyfill fibers. I made soft hexagonal snowflakes :). I added some embroidery thread to hang them to the Xmas tree, of course. It's so tiny, it looks like a younger brother:.

MadameRenard ... a self-expression journey! Eco-friendly sewing, rural life, creativity!: Nature never creates two identical snowflakes...
http://madamerenard.blogspot.com/2012/10/nature-never-creates-two-identical.html
Tutorials and free stuff. Tuesday, 16 October 2012. Nature never creates two identical snowflakes. So I embroidered 12 different "exemplars"! The evident thing is that they differ in the colors I used, but the thing I like best is that they differ in the drawing. I drew 12 different snowflakes and I'm proud to show them to you :). My favourite are simple and regular; complex snowflakes annoy my eyes a bit and I don't like it. You can see that I adjusted a bit the measurements after the first snowflake.

Tutorials and free stuff. Tuesday, 14 July 2015. How to display little embroidered works (the not professional way). In my latest post I wrote about the fact I've decided to display my little embroidered fox. And showed you the result. While working on this project I've taken some snapshots of the process. What do you think about converting the whole bunch in a sort of tutorial? Great idea, I know :P. I think it can be a smart idea to give a new life to some old/vintage pieces of fabrics.
