Cardholder with tie
A light box or even your window on a bright day comes in handy for transferring designs.
I had grabbed a paper with printing on it for my graphite sketch so it was hard to see. I defined the lines on the paper with a sharpie marker. I wanted to concentrate on following the lines with my brush, not on seeing where they are!
The black outlines of the butterfly’s wing design
I had washed a thin yellow/orange pigment on the fabric but it was too light with the black lines. So I repainted the color and added the white spots.
Since a butterfly is so often seen between sky and grass the blue/green background was appropriate. All creatures look best in their natural habitat!
Three card slots on each side.
Each side has three card pockets. The middle one is wide enough for business cards. I kept the others just wide enough for credit or ID cards to minimize the bulk at the edge. It was also easier to sew.
It’s good to have a plan. I don’t always have one.
