An Online Extra to Threads magazine The Whimsical Creations of Saskia Wassing-Shepherd Bright colors, free-motion embroidery, and a sense of humor combine delightfully in the designer's soft-sculpture animals and furnishings Saskia Wassing-Shepherd, author of "Making Ottomans" in the August/September 2003 issue of Threads (#108), designs and makes soft and semi-soft furniture and accessories for the home, and has made available to us a small virtual portfolio of her work. For more information, visit Saskia's Web site, www.saskiadesigns.com (currently under construction). If you'd like to try your hand at making an ottoman like those shown here, check out issue #108; and if you're interested in slippers with a similar flair, look for Saskia's article "Light on the Sole" in the December 2002/January 2003 issue of Threads (#104).
Playful pillows -- most of which have removable covers -- are embellished with Saskia's signature free-motion embroidery. Get inspired by Saskia's ottomans, which are characterized by bright, pieced-velvet covers and unusual shapes. Her "poufs" all sit close to the floor, supported by short ball feet.
