How To Make Your Own Limoncello Recipe

limoncello-recipe

I came across this Limoncello recipe and it brought back so many memories that I had to share it with you. I first tasted Limoncello at a mountain Distillery in Australia. We of course were talked into a few bottles of different concoctions from the amazingly quirky owners of the TamborineMountainDistillery. In fact the hand-painted bottle my Limoncello came in has only just been thrown away despite it being empty for more than 8+years. (I am a horder of pretty packaging and his wife hand-painted it). So you are wondering what this has to do with parties? Well apart from the fact you can drink at parties and this recipe will be a great drink it is also perfect for Favor’s. Sometimes a favor at a party might not be a candle or a silver key ring. Sometimes it i good to think outside the box and delve deep into your fun memories.

A while back I made a little rainbow cross stitch pattern and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it, so I turned it into a patch. My idea was that it could be used on a jacket or backpack, or you could add a pin to the back and wear it temporarily on a shirt or elsewhere.

But what if you want to make your design more permanent? Is it possible to turn a piece of cross stitch into an iron-on design?

It turns out yes, it is, and Sirious Stitches has done it so I didn’t have to try to figure it out on my own.

The way they did it was by using HeatnBond, an iron-on adhesive that attaches fabrics without sewing. There was still sewing involved to finish the edges of the cross stitch fabric and make it look like a purchased patch. The post shows how to do this by hand or with your sewing machine. (I just did blanket stitch edging on mine, which doesn’t look like a “real” patch but is also a lot faster.)

Once you have the patch prepared it’s a pretty easy matter of using the fusible adhesive to the back of the patch so you can then iron it onto whatever jacket, pair of jeans, bag or whatever else you might want to add it to.

I guess I’m a little paranoid about the washability of cross stitch projects, though you could hand wash anything with an iron-on cross stitch patch as you might need to with a purchased iron-on patch, anyway. But this does look really cool and is a great option if you know you want to permanently add a cross stitch patch to a garment of bag.
