CREATING LIGHTING EFFECTS WITH ZIVA’S STAINED GLASS COLLECTION 

One of our clients has used silk yarns and a range of stitches to give a magnificient impression of light on and through the ‘glass panels’ for ZIVA’s Autumn Sumac Wall Tapestry.

YOUR STAINED GLASS FREE DESIGN….
YOUR CHOICE OF A COIN PURSE
OR CARD HOLDER
               USING THE SPLIT STITCH                  

THE DESIGN 

We’ve created a luminous stained glass free design called ‘SPRING BLING’ for a coin purse or card holder case featuring a new stitch to learn….. the SPLIT STITCH. 

The split stitch, because of its delicacy and fineness, works perfectly as the ‘lead’ to outline the ‘stained glass’ panels.  

The size of the case, as shown in the photo above, is 3.25” x 4.5” (approx. 8 cm x 11.5 cm) 

We adapted an original Art Nouveau stained glass panel to create a dynamic motif of spring buds emerging through the ground in a blaze of vibrant colours….. reaching for the warm spring sun!

MAKING UP IDEAS:

Coin Purse

• For the coin purse, you can add a zipper at the top (as shown above) or use Velcro as a closure
• Side gussets can be added to give the coin purse case more depth if needed
• You can also stitch it twice to create a case with the motif on both sides

Card Holder Case

• For the card holder case, you can attach it to a purchased card holder case as shown below or make it up in fabric or simulated leather. Full instructions of this option are shown in the newsletter.

HOW WAS THIS LUMINOUS EFFECT CREATED?

Our objective was to have the yarn types, colours and stitch types working together to create a radiant stained glass effect.

 

Here’s how we did it:

Instructions for creating the split stitch are included in our 21st  VIVA ZIVA! newsletter.
