I love looking at the little doilies that others have made. And I like the fact that you value that. It shows that whoever made those beautiful things it went to a nice home someone who would love it and appreciate it. Also, I want to comment on your cross stitch. Stitch is not like quilting as you know. It takes I think a little longer and it’s a different kind of a stitch. You will find as you finish the project, after a while no one will ever notice the white behind it because you’re not looking at that. You’re looking at the art itself the beautiful stitches that are there making the mouse, so don’t take your joy away from yourself from making the stitching because you see some white come through it. Believe me I have things that I made 30 years ago I never see my mistakes. One project I made I gave some of the thread to my daughter who is also making the picture. Her kit did not have enough thread. So I went ahead and gave her some of mine because I was burned out on the project. About 10 years later, I dug the project out I didn’t have enough thread. But I went and got some more matched it up the best I could for the life of me, I cannot tell which threads were replaced. This project‘s been done five years at least and it’s one of my favorites today. I’m always looking at it looking for the different dialogue. I can’t find it. And there’s nothing wrong with my eyes. It just takes time for things to fit in that’s all. So enjoy finishing all of it. She’ll love it. She’ll treasure it. And don’t take the joy of making it for her away from yourself because of something like that.
The little buildings are cute!
That clock is gorgeous ! I love hand embroidery. I Always have an embroidery WIP going.
I love going to Charity shops when we visit the UK. The hand embroidery is beautiful.
I loved seeing your finds from the charity shops. The fabrics and embroideries are beautiful and have found a good home. xx
I love a good browse in a charity shop, and your finds are simply delightful. Those fabrics look really nice.
Thanks for sharing your treasures with us! You found some really nice pieces!
Sometimes you really hit lucky, Thank you for watching x
You are one very busy lady but love everything you make
You’ve had some good finds. Enjoy them. X
Thank you, amazing what you can find.
It really is! You get a charity shop bug then and always hunt for stuff.
Enjoyed this video and seeing your finds. Cheers, Christine
Hi Rachel if you like the nightie which I think is very pretty why don't you add a lace panel to increase the amount of fabric. It would enhance it. Enjoy working your plans out.
Thanks for sharing love your excitement for what you found in the charity shops ......xxxxx
You're welcome, thank you for watching and sharing my joy xx
As for your cross stitch mouse if you find that looks as if you can see the fabric just add another strand of cotton, most patterns use 2 strands but it’s a guide and some look better with 3 . As a tip unless it’s a kit practice a few stitches first just as you would with crochet or knitting .
Thank you, yeah he definitely needed 3 strands. He didn't turn out too bad though. I will definitely do a couple of practice stitches with my next project though x
Rachel - Where the mousy cross stitch is concerned, are you using the full six strands of the DMC floss? If not, you might want to try that. Maybe less white will show. OR perhaps the cross stitch fabric is somehow not up to par....which may be why it was donated to a charity shop¿😉
Lovely charity shop haul! I am a cross-stitcher and my guess is that you are not using enough thread. Since it's Aida and probably 14 ct. You should use 3 strands of floss to get good coverage. ❤
Thank you, yeah that's exactly my problem! I had an experiment last night and 3 strands gives much better coverage.
@stitchwithrachel I'm glad that you were able get better coverage! ❤️
I rarely go to charity or thrift shops. I am trying to reduce my items due to my age. But they are tempting.
That nightgown was beautiful. If it doesn't fit only on the lower part, you could insert a small amout of fabric in the side seams or even insert some pink fabric in a triangular shape from the bodice down front and back. I have done that when I couldn't pass up the item and the top part fits.
I am a new subscriber in my late 60s in the USA.
Loved watching Thankyou Rachel x
You had a good outing at that charity shop, you have some lovely things there. thanks for sharing.
I’m loving your videos. I’m off sick at the moment so have time to craft and watch your vids. I honestly think you are the nicest person I’ve never met 😂 I’m kind of obsessed with your vids you’ve got such a lovely vibe about you.
aww that is so lovely of you to say, I am glad you are enjoying the videos are they are providing you with some comfort during difficult time. I wish you a full recovery with plenty of crafting for you mind and soul aswell xx
Lovely bits and bobs. I love a charity shop and often pick up some bargains. Xx
Ooh some lovely little charity shop finds ❤ I always look but never seem to find! Maybe one day!
It can be hit and miss but I know you'll find some treasures x
You did really well with your charity shop finds. I think that one piece of very pretty light furnishing fabric is very much like a Sanderson pattern and looks from the 70's or 80's, thank you for the video x
Oh wow thank you for that information, it's nice to know roughly when it's from. Thanks for watching x
Dear Rachel - Is there a way for you to increase your VOLUME? I watch you on my cell phone. I can barely hear you. You have a lovely voice, yet it's SO soft. Can you turn up your volume while recording? Please🍒🥰
Brenda from Mount Scrap More told me about your channel
Hello and welcome to the channel xx
Such lovely things. I must try and get to some good charity shops. I love the little round mats and think I’ll make some from linen and then put some little hexies or squares on them. Inspirational ideas. Thank you. X
That sounds like a good idea! Thank you for watching x
On the mouse pattern, what size Aida count is it ? How many strands of silk r u using? Unusual to have white showing x
It's 16 count I think with 2 strands, yeah I thought it strange too! I've have to double check the aida count though.
@@stitchwithrachel I think you would need all 6 strands of DMC - at least 4. Try a test on the edge of the fabric to see what will cover sufficiently. It’s a very cute pattern, worth taking out what you have already done (I know-I hate taking stitches out of crochet, quilting, embroidery-but it’s worth it). Please show us when it’s done.
The Aida cloth looks like it might be 14 count. If it’s what come in the kit it probably is. Unfortunately you’ll see some white if it is but that’s honestly ok. Wait until you do the head and put some details in the face and it may turn out beautifully.
If you choose to do the other patterns you could get some 18 count Aida and use two strands which then shouldn’t show any white. Using three strands on 16 count would work ok as well.
@@karen1351Great advice!
