Subtle Embellishments

I'm working on a mystery needle case (that isn't really that much of a mystery - I recognized all the clues).  It's with the Stitchmap group. The front and back are embellished fabric - whatever you want to use.  I picked this piece of dyed Aida cloth.  It was from a dyeing class years ago (the dye job wasn't to even).  I think it was an onion dye.  I cross-stitched the applique style flower on it years ago. For embellishments I attached shell beads with seed beads. For the back, I found some white cloth dyed during the same class. This fabric was tie-dyed.  I added some old white rayon rick-rack and seed beads.  I wanted some embroidery so I borrowed a flower from a vintage doily. It was quick and easy and worked well with the other colors. I wanted to be done by now but I'm falling behind on the assembly part.  So, more on that later.

Embellishing

I've got sequins and beads out. And some fabric from the scrap bag. I love the resulting fabric.  It's going to be a book cover.
