Back in the summer I did some Eco dyeing on cloth, that was long and thin, using leaves from my garden. The cotinus and acers gave the best prints. Because the printing was on a long thin piece of fabric, I decided to make it into a bobbin roll.
I mounted the strips on wadding and then decided to pick out the colours especially the pinky-purples to do some embroidery. I used hand and machine embroidery.
The better prints I mounted onto fabric and attached them as patches.
I then neatened the edge with machined rat's tail and then attached the fabric to a vintage bobbin.
The embroidered piece was wrapped round and round the bobbin and then finished with a button.
