The newest Pantone color of the year for 2019 was announced a few days ago.
Coral is a classic match with grays, crisp whites, aqua, turquoise blues and sage greens. I like that coral can be soothing or bright and crisp depending on what other colors it is paired with.
I like this coral color. Expect to see it in spring and summer clothing, and home accessories. I will be including it in paintings and sewn accessories this year. 🙂
As hard as I try, there are going to be bloopers when creating. When painting, I can often just repaint and move on. When sewing, I look for my seam ripper and start taking it apart to redo. Once in a while, there is nothing that can be done to save it ….. groan.
I had just finished sewing this beautiful antique lace and champagne colored satin lingerie bag. I was giving it the final pressing before photographing it for my shop. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn the iron temperature down …..
The hot iron literally melted the lace on to the iron. It is not repairable on this bag.
These bloopers happen to all of us. It’s part of the process and some lessons are learned the hard way. Now I am very careful when pressing lace. – always use a cool iron when pressing lace!! 🙂
