Sewing And More Sewing!
Hello everyone!
I hope you’re enjoying the weekend so far!
I swam some more yesterday and had a long walk too so today I decided to crack on with some crafting and stay home!
Here you can see my cat relaxing, whilst I was pricking my fingers, cutting, trimming and using pinking shears.
Who invented those? Aren’t they wonderful!
I bought some fat quarters yesterday as I am obsessed with a bit of patchwork I did when I was small, which involved making hexagon shapes you sewed by hand.
Here you can see a vintage quilt made using this technique:
Thinking that I would quickly finish my Daisy Purse, then crack on with the hexagons, I decided to start that first. I sewed the hems of Jon’s new Kryptek Typhoon trousers yesterday and was keen to do some more…
Here you can see my purse and the lining I carefully made to go in it:
Here you can see my assembled pile of fabrics!
Here is the baby present I intend to finish also today….
Here you can see dear Woozle giving her full approval to my patchwork pile:
Here you can see my sewing in progress….
I am not sure if I’ll get it all done but it’s fun!
Where can I get the pattern for the soft, lovely kitty? Does it come with the optional purring and nuzzling feature? Ha, ha!
