here is my nearly finished crocheted and embroidered pouch. I still need to sew the lining in place, (thus the pins)
this is a photo of my completed pouch stitched with oyster stitch.
I have really gotten crazy with designing these. I love the texture effects that I have been using to create these one of a kind pouches. I still have plenty of ideas for more textured pieces cant wait to have the time to stitch them up. I have several of these on order for custom sized pouches for cell phones.
Here is the finished cell phone pouch from my oyster stitch sample. This isnt a very good scan but it was the best I could do for now. I will take better photos later on, once I have my computer back. I dont want to add alot of my software to this loner computer.
I really enjoy making these cell phone pouches. Each one is custom fit to the phone of the person who is to receive the pouch and is a one of a kind original design.
I will be making them for some time to catch up with the orders I have gotten for them.
This is my second sample of Oyster stitch. I was inspired by Sharons spiral sample to create a filled spiral for a cell phone pouch. I used a varigated crochet thread , persian type threads, floss and perle cottons in size 5 and 8 for this sample. I will be adding beads and maybe some more stitching highlights to it before I sew the cell phone pouch.
Boy what a nightmare! I have used this stitch before but it was quite some time ago, so needless to say it took me a bit of time to get the hang of it again. I must admit that I had to get out a book for this one. I grabbed my copy of "Floral Stitches" by Judith Baker Montano (page 66) and followed the drawn pictures there to get the stitch going right for me.
Please dont get me wrong Sharon's stitch dictionary has excellant directions but I just couldnt wrap my head around them. Once I stepped away from the computer and studied the pics in the book I saw what i was doing wrong.
This first sample has a lot of failed attempts. The first 2 rows and the top circle of stitches are improperly worked.
By the 3rd row and the bottom flower I had it figured out.
So ......I will further explore this stitch later today. I have some ideas for working it now that I have the mechanics down properly. I will post more samples later on.
