This weeks TAST Stitch is Sheaf Stitch…For my first seam I used the basic stitch shape set side by side, to add a little interest I used a single strand of 2 colours so that you see flecks of both colours along the seam.
When I was finished the seam I was delighted with how well it ties in with the sugar cane in the background of the photo.
I am really enjoying the TAST challenge for the fresh look at stitches and how they can be arranged…I liked the decreasing length of the bar stitch and I have done it flip flopping it from side to side with the ends of the longest bars touching so that ait forms a continuous line.
