I had only a short time to spend in the studio today, so I turned to playing with a small screen printed fabric that I felt was pretty ugly.
The blue/pink/purple was not intense enough and the white flowers were hard to see. I decided I'll use it for one of the baguette zippered pouches that have the vinyl window in the front.
I got out my Neocolor II crayons and added some of the blue and pink around the flowers for more definition.
It makes a difference. Once I add a bit of free motion stitching, it'll be fine. It's fun to experiment with these little bits and satisfying to make a much appreciated small gift with them.
Never give up on a piece. Scribble on it, cut it up, stitch over it, add some fused leaves or flowers, have fun.

So interesting to see the difference with your before and after shots! And I wanted to tell you that I really like your new blog look! It is much more representative of you and your work. Nice colour palette, too!
I didn`t think the original was bad but I definitely love what you did to it. I can't wait to see what you do with the stitching.
I like both the before and the after, too bad you couldn't keep both!
I'll have to see if I can find a a picture of that baguette holder pouch you speak of.
