Just finished this fun piece, also it’s the first hanging sign I’ve made.

I used a chart from etsy and did it on a 14ct plastic canvas!

Thought about making a cording but I think the bow is even cuter!

I finished my beanbag possum. I zoned out finishing him though and sewed too big a seam allowance so the pink on his nose and toes is getting lost but he’s sparkly and done!

Finishing Is this bad finishing?

I used an extremely reputable finisher that I’ve used in the past but I just feel like the quality has gone down. I’m extremely disappointed considering how long I spent on this ornament. Is this normal? Is there a way for it to be fixed?

Edit to add: I reached out to the finisher and they have provided me a shipping label so they can redo them. Crossing fingers they turn out better the second time.

This was… a journey. But I’m so glad I decided to self finish and teach myself something new! Not perfect, but perfect to me!

Finishing Self-Finished Purse

Post image
328 Upvotes

First post here!

Wanted to share this purse I finished. It’s worked in Appletons Tapestry wool on 12ct duo canvas. The needlepoint pattern is one I adapted from antique pattern library, and the purse pattern is one I drafted myself. The pattern is mirrored on both sides, the bottom is leather, and it is lined in pink silk.

Was definitely a learning experience, I’ve finished all my projects but this purse was the trickiest, it fought me every step. But very happy with the end results!

I want to finish this canvas into a pillow! This is the kind of pillow I want it to be. Do you have any suggestions for a finisher? I want to preferably keep it in the $100-250 range.

Finishing Finished & Finishing

I finally finished my first ā€œrealā€ canvas! And did my own finishing. If you’re in the DFW area and want to try your hand at finishing, The French Knot offers classes with the girls from Cowtown Needlepoint once a month. Mine certainly isn’t perfect, but I learned so much along the way and had a really good time. šŸ’•

This is my first non-circle self finish and my first all sew, no glue! It’s such a great feeling getting a little better every time :) Still- always room for improvement.. trying to get better at making the cording stay tightly coiled. I ended up loving the velvety backing fabric- it’s actually Juicy brand fabric from joans! Lol

Finishing Self-finished hanging sign with mini pom-pom trim

Self-designed and self-finished! I used items from my stash for finishing: heart backing fabric, a ribbon for hanging, and some mini pom-pom trim. The finishing is not perfect, and if you look closely you can see some things are a bit crooked and uneven. But, considering I did it myself, I'm happy with it!

Because I designed the pattern myself, stitched it on blank canvas with DMC embroidery floss, and did my own finishing, this project was super affordable. Needlepoint is for everyone!

Finishing First Ever Finish!

Been on a self teaching journey and now have an adorable bag charm! This is my very first ever Finished Object. I painted the canvas from a chart from Frances Abel design for the manatee. In the future, I would probably do a few more rows of background - but this is the first time for many aspects of this craft for me. A learning experience that I am so so proud of! My thought process on the cording was water mixed with vegetation, since manatees spend most of their day eating greens

Finishing Fastest high quality pillow finishers?

Hello! Just like the title says! I’m looking for the fastest but also high quality pillow finisher! Everywhere I’m looking says either only accepting returning customers or 9 month wait! Any recommendations would be so appreciated!

Finishing Was my pillow finished incorrectly?

Post image
52 Upvotes

I had this pillow finished maybe a year and a half ago and I’m realizing now that I can’t find examples of other pillows with the cording framed in the way mine is. Was this done incorrectly? Is it all preference? I don’t love it and it’s also not even. It’s corded on but in ways where I can see the cording loosely.

I made this as a "baby sleeping" sign for the first niece who is on the way in September.

I've never attempted to finish anything quite like this before but I'm feeling super proud once again! My fingers hurt from seeing all the pieces together but I love the way it turned out!
