Hallowe'en
Costume Article |
|
When my
boys were young, they played hockey and were Scouts. Everyone
had a Hallowe'en party with costumes. The regular trick or
treat costume always had to be big to cover winter coats and
could be any monster my boys could think of. I rarely bought
costumes, makeup and old clothes made Frankenstein, or ghouls.
The requirements for school, and other parties tended to be
different, boys imaginations could not run wild; mother's had
to in order to find a different yet suitable costume. When I
found
this article, I wished I had
as much imagination as the author. Although the article
is better for girls than boys, I think, with a few changes, a
simple outfit could adapted to many situations. |

Swedish Embroidery
Article |
|
Swedish Embroidery (also known as Swedish or Huck embroidery
or weaving) is a means of decorating fabric with a broad
weave. A large needle is slid under the vertical thread
(called a “float”) and the yarn is drawn through to create a
pattern. The trick is to make each stitch evenly taut, not too
tight and not too loose so that it lies flat and does not
wrinkle. The design is only seen on the front of the cloth.
Once you have mastered it, you can be very creative with your
designs and make much more complicated designs.
This article shows some very
simple designs perfect for the beginner. The fabrics of choice
are Huck fabric (Huckabuck) commonly used for towels and
Monk’s cloth. Once you have mastered your stitches, you can
delve further into this art and learn all the details
necessary to create works of art. |
