First stripe done

I've threaded and started, 30 pegs wide on narrow. It's a yard long, the next twenty odd bags with stripes in are all ready to go.

Finish it February??

Only a few rows off my goal, but its March. What to do? Persevere, Made it March instead :)

Old t shirt upcycle

Chop the top off, use a hanger for a template and you have a shoulder dust cover. Repeat until all your old shirts are gone.

Snapshot of todays cutting mat

Can't decide which project to crack on.with so doing both.... must not get confused :P

Dresden pt 3

It does indeed make a circle, a few aren't quite set in correctly so it'll take a little fettle. I have found a new home for my tiny scraps!

Dresden pt 2

It seems to be working. Lights going now so I'll have to stop.

Chain piecing

I'm attempting my first dresden from scraps, think I've got the template right. It beats going out in the snow.

Another Junk Genius make

My brain is whizzing & I'm tackling another junk make, this broken saucer was too nice to throw away. It'll probably be going in the garden as its weatherproof.

Todays project ..

From Junk Genius. I've got a little thing in mind to sew on if I can find it. Also.working on one of my UFO's. It's a stinky day out so its good timing.

Art sketchbook

I've finished & started, don't think its going to be quite as beautiful as the one that was my inspiration but its such fun. The sharpie writes so nicely on newspaper.

Woven seat pad

It's found a home on a little leather seat that is looking worn, time to start a rug.

Crewel finish

Realised I hadn't shown you the finished piece and sewing box refurb. It now matches my morris room and has a removeable washable cover. It's staples on the top with braid around hot glue gunned on.

Mug Rug

The last recipient has her Christmas mug rug so I can blog about it. They were constructed out of repurposed material, hand quilted & free motion quilted. This one has antique flowers appliqued on it.

About to lift of ...

Hope it holds on the strings ok :)

Loom threaded

It's ready to start, done 18 pegs on a large guage. Need to do the strips for it. I'd like to do a little bath mat if I can find the old towels to cut up. I'm a little worried about the fraying.

Handmade Christmas

Making my first yo-yo, I'll post up the pics of the house all decked once all the family is here to see it in person.

Handbag hack

A short handled bag converted to an across the body bag. Just a few loose threads to sort, a bit of scotchguard to protect the fabric and viola!

Two stars

I decided to make one big one and a few babies for some Christmas bunting. They are 60 degree diamonds. Happily sewing the babies to have stiff interfacing on the back.
