Rose complete

Finally... Yes it is complete.

The thing is I had to frog my rose first. I didn't sew the petals very well in my first try. It looked awful to tell the truth. So I had to redo it....

Then I followed the pattern which I had given in the last post.( It can be found here ) I followed this and got something too big. It was a Rose yes But I wanted something smaller. So I counted the stitches and re-did the whole thing. And I successfully rolled and sewd it up.. Yay me..

The Stem took a while. I hdc'ed 3 rows for desired length and width and I slip-stitched the ends with a refill in b/w. I followed the leaf pattern as given in the pattern but I reduced the stitches to get smaller leaves.. Will post pictures soon.

Tomorrow is her Birthday now all I need to do is wrap it up. Oh and the thing is I kept the finished rose in a box which contained rose scented incense. Now it smells nice too.

Rose on its way

I have finished the petals completely. NOw I need to roll it up. That does take some time to get it exactly right. Then the stem... I found another method of rose making here

But the stem is too thick. If it were think it would bend. That was what led me thinking of empty refills. Well I'll just have to try and find out.

Thats it..

Well I think thats all the current tinkerings I'll be having with this blog of mine.

Anyway currently I am making a Rose for Renjitha. Her Birthday is on 2nd Oct. Making the rose part is easy its the Stem I have trouble with. I wanted a solid stem. Last time I made this for Remya I used a 'used Pen refill'. But it took way too much time than necessary and the refill sometimes poked outside the rose too. I hope this goes well.
