I tried to add hand stitching to the top sample - it was taken from a drawing I did of an old discarded dollie from a charity shop - but it got over complicated and fussy. The second sample shows smocking, and I like the fact I've done it only in certain areas, not all over. It seems like you can appreciate the pattern more when it is contrasted with plain areas. The third sample shows laser and patchwork, which was really tricky to work out the cut plan for, so the laser design lines up over the patched fabric. Unfortunately, I think it looks too fussy and I don't like the laser design I created. The repeating patchwork of the top sample works a lot better with the irregular and bright print than this irregular patchwork. Finally the bottom image is a couple of samples layered up to see how they work. I think they look really flat and they need movement and light to come alive.
