This week my lyme was acting up so I thought I would do something simple. I want to get started on presents for this year, so I thought I would try a name tag in punch needle. I have made them before, but this time, my hands weren't cooperating and I made a mess. I did it in 3 strands and punched too tight and my stitches are uneven and it is just a mess, lol. I finished it anyways and now I can rethink it and do a nicer one.
The name tag is 3 1/2" x 2". What I would like to know is, what size name tag is good to make, something someone can wear to shows or classes, if they want? I think it would be better if I made it a little larger, than I can add more detail and use 6 strands. I am also working on my ark piece. I have it all pinned and started sewing it tonight. I am using the backing for the edge by pulling it to the front. Then I will do an outline stitch on the inside, so hopefully that will be done this weekend.
I tried to take a nice photo, but it is just ugly, nothing helped;)
Since I don't punch it looks pretty good to me. A 2 1/2" x 4" is a good name tag size.
ReplyDeleteWell I think it's gorgeous! I can't punch for anything. It sounds a good size already Debbie, maybe cut some fabric a little bigger and pin it on and see how it feels?
ReplyDeleteIt's darling...no problem at all that I see! I too punched a name tag a while back. I think it is important to be able to read the name from across the table or as you are approaching a person. If someone can read your name, you are good!
ReplyDeleteAwww it is so cute xxx
ReplyDeleteI think it looks really cute. We are zlways out sorst critics!
ReplyDeleteDebbie I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling so well. I do have to say though, that your name tag looks very good to me and your photo looks good as well. So feel a little comfort in that sweetie :)
