Having cut more motifs than I realised I used them up in an evening clutch bag:

clutch flap |
The clutch is made from silk dupion with more lacework cutaway in chiffon on top.

back of clutch |
The part I had the most fun with was actually the front under the flap where I did dense free stitching in variegated thread over the silk leaving the motif shapes untouched - ie stitching the negative space.

I reckon that technique would look great in a contrasting colour on felt so that the shapes would "bounce out" but I like the subtlety here.

Absolutely stunning Helen! I love the subtlety of the hidden stitching under the flap.
What lovely leftovers! I like the negative shapes.
