I finished something!

I decided to use the letter outlines I had customised and reversed yesterday to make a T shirt. I copied them on to vliesofix, delved into my scrap bin and tried to arrange them. They were a tad too large, but there was NO WAY that I was going to repeat the customising exercise. The result is pictured below, finished except for hems. I did the satin stitch manually - much easier than hooping, and I would have had to redo the entire design anyway to stitch it out digitally.

I said yesterday that I was disappointed with the density of the lace in the customised bell. I was going to have another fiddle today, but got a bit carried away with T shirt construction. When I looked at the bell again I saw a tassel head. So that is what the bell became.
