using tatted motfis and scraps on gifts
Readers may remember that I use up many motifs, trial pieces,
etc. to adorn fabric or paper. The acronym (not a very good one) SOUP stands
for Sewing On/Using Pieces of tatting.
(click on label on
right panel for my earlier “tatting SOUPs”)
Here are a few pics of my more recent ventures.
Since this is in family, and hand-gifted, I merely tape the
motifs on the underside.
The recipients enjoy taking out the pieces and re-using in their own
way :-)
I like that the cover brings in some interest…
and I reduce some of my stash, making room for more !
Patterns on this gift wrapper:
Rosette Enchained – pattern to be shared

Jane’s TIAS rabbit & Irene Woo’s Heart of a Butterfly
have also been similarly taped & gifted some weeks back (forgot to take a pic).
I try to match up the embellishment with the gift inside or to the recipient's taste, as far as possible.

Where/how do you serve your tatting SOUP ?
keep tatting - SOUP is healthy :-)
It looks fabulous :)
ReplyDeleteLovely gifts :) I like your soup! My mum is my first recipient, then I serve the soup around, lol!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I have a big acid-free scrapbooking box that holds my tatted treasures... the ones that aren't decorating the house, that is!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun!
ReplyDeleteI like your soup, mine are put on greeting cards or left in a box until I need something.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much everybody :-)))
ReplyDeleteYes, it was fun, Jane & Renata
Aren't you cheeky, Ninetta! Poor Mom will always relish a daughter's soup, no matter what ;-P Doubt there's much left to go around :-D
Diane you do serve your ice drops with such a clamor for refills :-)
Interestingly, Margaret, I've not yet put any tatting on my greeting cards. I do want to create a tatted scene or landscape especially for a card.
Those are all so pretty!! They make a great picture!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue :-) the large collage covers a colouring book for my dear niece :-)
DeleteI always use up my soup. Yours are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteA healthy diet, Bernice :-))) Thanks
DeleteNice work! I like to tape little motifs to cards for my mom, and try to match the colors if I can.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful idea, Mistene :-) They must look so pretty .
