Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday held on Thursday…I am a little late this week…Today we are building houses…Row Houses.
In no time at all we will have a village!
Draw three lines, one inch apart. This is a “two-pass” pattern. The first “pass” will be the bottom of the house, and the second “pass” will be the roof.
Starting on the bottom line, stitch The Greek Key (find that tutorial HERE) Leave a space between each “key”.
The second “pass” begins just above the bottom rail. Stitch next to the “key” and then angle up to the top drawn line to create the first half of the roof. Next stitch down at an angle, stopping just before the drawn line. Stitch a few stitches to the left…
Stitch the second triangle roof…
Next, stitch toward the center and create the third triangle.
Now you have finished the roof lines. From here stitch out from the triangle and then down next to your first house into the space between the houses.
You are now ready to start the second roof line.
You might try a little variation:
Try adding a chimney…
…and some smoke and perhaps a set of stairs…
In an upcoming tutorial we will move into a Mansion with doors, windows, shutters, gardens…
I just LOVE Housework, don’t you?
