gifting SOUP

Pin It now!

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:

Nellie’s BlueBird 

Together we fly butterfly 

Laurel leaves & Wiggly flowers from Ring in the Bouquet

Rosette Enchained – pattern to be shared

Those small fluffy flowers are made with scrap thread (size 40) using Interlocking picots (long picots on a Josephine ring).

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.

Prior to that, this envelope has 2 of my favorites taped on ...

Super 17 Butterfly (3D in size 40) and
my tiny Hibiscus doodad

Mission accomplished !
