When I bought the Tina Givens fabric I gushed about here, the plan was to use it for making something, well, big. What I ended up doing was use it for not-exactly-big projects. I made a clock, a laptop sleeve, and a portable hard drive case. I also used it for making a yoga mat bag and a mobile phone case for two clients.
Today I have about a meter of the fabric left. I am saving it for a project. Don’t ask me what because I don’t know. The pretty design is left unappreciated in my fabric shelves, though. So I thought about doing an embroidery hoop wall art sort of thing.
Here is what I came up with:
I know, I know, this will look better if I have at least 8 hoops in varying sizes up on the wall. Give me time, okay? Embroidery hoops are goshdarn expensive in my country.

You could make quite a nifty looking scene out of fabric and hoops–sort of like a disjointed painting….
