The first ‘curvy lines’ block

My first block for Project Improv has finally done! It’s my first experience to sew curvy lines. Thanks to Kattiejeanbag for giving me the link to learn how to sew curvy lines. It’s a little bit tricky, but really helps me a lot! Still I need a week to sew it. I learn and try with my scraps first. I think doing it with hand sewing is also helpful because I could move forward slowly, step by step. I can’t imagine if I should sew with machine, it would move fast…maybe for a beginner like me the ‘end product’ would be terrible :)
Here I let you see how I make my curvy lines.






It’s not a perfect curvy lines sewing, I still see puckers here and there, but I think it is fine for the first time. I just love the effect after doing this: I feel addicted to make another curvy lines blocks!

  5. Henny you are just going so well, the curves look great, you really are very talented the way you have learnt so fast.

    Also I would like to share the wedding invites we made a last weekend, but they haven't sent them out yet and asked me not to so will share them when I can.

    Hope you have a good week.

  6. This is fabulous, you're already a pro! The curves you made are very dramatic and the most difficult to sew, I call them rolling hills :) Glad you had fun! xo Kathy
