Catching Up

Time for a little catch-up!

These cute puppies have been in my stash for too long!

I saw what a friend had done with hers and just 

                        had to copy it!

It's not a big one, but I am sure it will make someone                                       smile!

And some stash enhancement!

I'm thinking of making a boxy top with the bottom 

one- an 'out-of-print' Kaffe Fassett.

One of the leftover panels has become a weebraw bag!

I decided to brush up on my embroidery skills, with 

this 

Christmas decoration.

And I have nearly finished the hand quilting my voile 

AMH Summer quilt....

 I'll need to get something to bind it with and then 

some photos....stay tuned!

Happy days!

Short and Sweet!

Although I have quilts to quilt

1. Smorgasbord (- finishing it up!)

2. Quatro colour

3. Snowflake

4. Shine Your Halo (- hand quilting it!) 

I needed to make some quick finishes, so satisfying ...

I started with this Weebraw bag,

made mostly from furnishing fabric I'd purchased for 

$1.00!

And then, over a couple of days, 

I made a Devon Pouch,

from a long-hoarded linen fat quarter!

 I had to upscale it slightly to suit the zippers I had 

bought!

But I think it worked out beautifully

thanks to such a very well written pattern!

Do you have a favourite 'go-to' gift to make?

Happy sewing,

Bags, bags and more bags!

I have had the WeeBraw bag pattern 

(available here)

for a few months....

And now that school holidays have started I decided 

to give one a try.

                                              But could I stop at one?

NO!

  I found myself delving through my fabric stash for

                  all sorts of pretty combinations!

 If you make the linings from different prints to the 

outer pieces, 

 there are five different fabrics to choose....

and a little piece of ribbon for the tab.

 So I kept going and going!

 Sort of like picking fabric for a quilt,

but much quicker to get a pleasing finish!

It became a bit of a production line as I perfected 

the order in which to sew everything! 

Luckily I have a gift list of recipients ready...

I just need to decide which one I want to keep for 

myself...

     
            Of course, there is the smaller version to try...

and the possibility of making it bigger too!

Happy sewing!
