Cut work



From looking at different doilies and lace patterns you can get really interesting patterns and intricate detail. 
By studying different doliles and lace pieces i have created my own pattern from them using similar shapes.




I have then taken these into fabric pieces like i would intend to when creating my wall pieces



 

i like the cut work onto this wool as its easy to cut out and it doesn't fray at the edges as many other fabrics would, i think the small cut out bits work well but i found when i pinned it up the larger cut out pieces don't hang right, i could resolve this by sewing around the cut out pieces or another way would be to needle bond a sheer fabric to the back to ensure it stays flat when hung up.
