My RSN Diploma Applique has been assessed

Two weeks ago I received the results of my RSN Diploma Applique project: I got 92%!!! I am so extremely happy with this mark. I was not really looking forward to this technique as I didn’t know what to make of it, but I ended up enjoying it so much and I was really happy…

RSN Diploma Applique

I can’t believe it has been over a year since my last post. Those of you who are following me on social media will know that I have not been idle. I just had so many large projects on the go, and I didn’t want to write really short posts with just a few progress…

Week 2 of the @haakplein Nostalgia 2.0 CAL done! Love the new patterns we got to Crochet this week.
They made such fabulous sewing boxes in the seventies. Look at this bright orange version. For something made out of plastic it is still in an amazing condition. Really happy with my find. #vintagesewingbox
Finished my creative box! Well for now…I decided to just stop fiddling with it until my tutor sees it in class. I will never stop otherwise. Fortunately I have plenty of other WIPs to keep my hands busy.
2nd drawer is nearly done! Still need to attach the inner drawer to the outer one and attach the ribbon pull. Despite making it slightly smaller it is still as snug as the other drawer so I think it is mainly the fabric layers rubbing against each other which is causing it to not run very smoothly and that the size is actually right. I think I will keep the drawers as they are. I should be able to finish it this weekend. Next I will check the box over to make sure it is all as it should be before taking it in to class on the 11th of Feb and hopefully my tutors are happy with it too and I can hand it in! #rsndiploma
Compass, protractor and circle template at the ready this evening….Trying to come up with a good design for my next RSN diploma module which is advanced goldwork.
Managed to find some beautiful vintage items these past couple of weeks.
Finished part 1 of the Nostaliga 2.0 CAL by @haakplein! Still on track (sort of) as part 2 was published this morning.
Finished the first drawer for my creative box. I made it very luxurious with felt padding on the inside. It has a ribbon pull to be able to get it out.
First block of the CAL done! Really enjoying this project and how relaxing it is. 2 more blocks to go for this week’s installment. #nostalgiacal2023
