I used Cascade's Eco Wool for this one, along with a belt buckle I reclaimed from a thrifted handbag.

Longer days and warmer weather inspire lighter, brighter colors and open textured stitch patterns.. click through to see more spring inspired designs at Flickr!
Still more lessons to be learned, I'm sure, but I feel like I'm getting the knack of the screen printing process.. here with some new fabric backed patches, embellished with sequins and eyelets. all hand made and one of a kind, of course.
Click thru for a couple more pics at flickr.
I'm working on the pattern for this mash up beret design that's been so popular at the Pike Place Market.. that and a few other things, so check back soon!

..these patches are made with recycled denim and measure abut 2-1/2" x 3" I will sew a few on to hats and offer them at the market individually, as well.
I started with a photo- emulsion kit from Dahrma Trading and followed their instructions. The whole process is easier than I thought it would be and a lot of fun!
Caroline models her Croshay Design Rose Cloche at the Pike Place Market.. I just love the way she styles it!

I made some button tab caps using cascades Eco+.
Because it's bulkier than the Sierra I made smaller puff stitches by using fewer yarnovers. I also added one round of the pattern stitch and made the band a little more narrow for this 1 1/8" woven leather button.
