The pale pink is supposed to look like the pink tights little ballerina's use. I can just see this as the front of a tote bag for my niece. To put her ballet things in for class of course! Perfect :)
Tartankiwi has the best paper pieces patterns. Although this has a few pieces, sewing it together is straightforward and simple. All the sections meet up perfectly. There are also a couple of pages you can print off that help with fabric and piece placement.
I find the design elegant. Here's me deciding on skin color or tights color. Have you paper pieced any blocks lately?
Wow! I love this. Your color choices were perfect!
ReplyDeleteWow! The edges of your pink fabric match beautifully. Those feet and shoes are so precise. This block would indeed make a gorgeous ballerina bag.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this block pop up on IG - I love it and your version. My daughter is about to start ballet classes so this block is a must for her ballet shoe bag to be :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely block, so original and, as you say, very elegant!
ReplyDeleteAdore! and yes perfect for a little girls bag!
ReplyDeleteUmmm... would you believe that this was me trying to design a simpler block! Yup, not my strong point- ha ha!
ReplyDeleteLove your version of the block, your sewing and fabric choices are perfect as always!
