Rosey Alphabet from Hang To Dry<\/a> is the source of the “P” and the flowers. The font for Page is Sweet Tart from 8 Claws and a Paw<\/a>. The bib is an ITH design from FiveStarFonts<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n

Have you ever seen a sweeter combination of fabric and design?\u00c2\u00a0 Like everything Cheryle Cole-Bennett makes,\u00c2\u00a0 it is perfectly stitched and perfectly coordinated.\u00c2\u00a0 Any new mother who received a set like this would likely be dancing on the ceiling between each feeding and diapering session (if she weren’t too exhausted).<\/p>\n

This set and everything featured here was made by Cheryle, an incredibly talented designer.\u00c2\u00a0 I happened upon her projects while surfing the very active, broad spectrum SewForum.com<\/a> site which is graciously sponsored by AllBrands.com<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 The forum is one you must join in order to have access.\u00c2\u00a0 Just do it–you’ll be glad you did.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"100_4036\"<\/a>

Here’s a close up of the onesie.\u00c2\u00a0 Cheryle mentioned a modification she made. “The P was edited to use the flower component from a different letter.”<\/em> Can you see that the flowers are 3 dimensional?<\/p><\/div>\n

After downloading many of my favorite photos from SewForum into my computer file called “pics inspiration,” I noticed that several were\u00c2\u00a0 “ccb” (Cheryle) submissions. \u00c2\u00a0 When I saw her preciously pink Roses for Page,\u00c2\u00a0<\/em> I had to know more about this person.<\/p>\n

But first, I rushed over to Hang To Dry<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0 to purchase the Rosey Alphabet<\/a> for use on a top for my granddaughter.\u00c2\u00a0 Partly because the alphabet came with no instructional file, the embroidery on the little shirt<\/a> for Vivian Rose was not nearly as nice as Cheryle’s.\u00c2\u00a0 It also lacks her design flair.<\/p>\n

On the forum, she generously shared these tips, which I wish I had read before I embroidered the shirt for Vivian Rose.\u00c2\u00a0 Cheryle said,<\/p>\n

“For<\/span> the rose, the design will stitch a placement stitch, followed by a triple stitch to tack down the fabric. For<\/span> raggy edged designs, I do not use HBL (Heat & Bond Lite). I add it for<\/span> the letter, but not any of the flower elements. The first element to stitch is the leaves – trim the fabric after the triple stitch. Since the intent is to have a frayed edge, don’t trim too close. The next element is the bottom layer of the rose – placement, then triple stitch. The rose stitches in 3 layers, each smaller than the one beneath it. As you trim each layer, use the stitch line from the element beneath as a cutting guide. Trim the fabric to just cover the stitch line beneath – you don’t need to be precise.<\/em><\/p>\n

I like to use two pieces of fabric for<\/span> each rose layer, single for<\/span> the leaves and the buds. I just like a fluffier flower. Each element of the design is small enough that you don’t need to worry about how to keep the fabric in place while you stitch – you don’t need tape or pins, just lay the fabric down smoothly and stitch.”<\/em><\/p>\n

She posted this photo of another sweet-as-pie project using that same Rosey Alphabet<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"hat<\/a><\/p>\n

Again, when queried by a forum member, she responded with more helpful information.<\/p>\n

“The flower element also makes a great little design on it’s own. I’ve borrowed it to add to a baby hat, also thought it might be cute to embroider on a headband. I’m attaching a photo of another set I did awhile back where I used just the flower element.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Let me tell you what I know about Cheryle.\u00c2\u00a0 Did you notice the watermark on the photos?\u00c2\u00a0 SeeSeeMe<\/strong><\/em> is her business name. Her new venture is being readied for launch,\u00c2\u00a0 so there isn’t a web site or Facebook page yet.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 She explains the name like this, “I go by Cheryle Cole-Bennett.\u00c2\u00a0 My last name is hypenated (hence my user name on SewForum, ccb).\u00c2\u00a0 SeeSeeMe<\/strong> is a play off of my initials to some extent.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Cheryle has a Flickr account where she has been loading photos of her projects.\u00c2\u00a0 I loved seeing those pictures.\u00c2\u00a0 Without exception, they are just as described by the title of this blog, Spectacularly made by Cheryle Cole-Bennett.<\/em><\/p>\n

As usual, I’m writing this post late at night, too late to contact Cheryle.\u00c2\u00a0 But if I can get permission to post her Flickr account, I’ll add it.\u00c2\u00a0 You won’t want to miss that.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:\u00c2\u00a0 http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/seeseeme<\/a><\/p>\n

AND THERE IS MORE!\u00c2\u00a0 In a future post you will see her bridal shower gift, an apron embellished with vintage linens and machine embroidery, mimicking a wedding dress.\u00c2\u00a0 And guess what?\u00c2\u00a0 It is SPECTACULAR!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
