Day 3 Part Two-Chevron Stitch

The stitch for this weeks Take a Stitch on Tuesday, is chevron stitch. I have kept this one a lot simpler than the last block and I really enjoyed using this stich.

All the seams were over stitched using chevron stitch, the diagonal seams in one colour and the horizontal ones in two contrasting threads.

This is a piece cut out of lace that was in my mother's sewing tin fixed with a button out of her button tin. I then used two lines of chevron stitch to outline and fix into place.

These red buttons were also out of the tin and are outlined by chevron stitch. The straight lines fall just under the edge of the buttons.

My favourite piece is this heart. I used some flat cording to form the shape and just used a few stitches to hold it in place. I then used chevron stitch to secure and outline it.

Here it is in all it's glory..


Today has been a really productive day and I can go to bed satisfied and ready for another day tomorrow.
