A new addiction….

As a break from sewing I’ve been teaching myself how to do Tunisian crochet so practising in my favourite colour is a joy – and, fancy, one of the hooks is turquoise, too!

Bags of ideas….

After sorting through my mountains of scraps I made a couple of little zip bags and two make-up brush rolls. These were things I’ve never made before but ‘sew’ satisfying to do! I’ll try some different styles and sizes to see which is my favourite.

In a bit of a muddle….

but not for long! I have so many boxes filled with smallish scraps of fabric and while sorting through them new projects came to mind. Perhaps I could make purses, pouch bags and Kindle cases. I’ll have a little play and let you know how I get on.

Bunting time ….

My younger daughter is getting married next year and I am on bunting duty. She gave me some fabrics and searching through my stash I found quite a few to compliment them. Next step is cutting them out but I need enough to decorate a marquee – I’d better start soon!
