The Stitches and Craft Show

10 May

On Saturday my sister and I went to the Stitches and Craft Show… wasn’t it fun!! I got to meet some lovely bloggers, saw lots of fun things and of course bought fabric….

Purchases!

Not a great photo – clockwise from left:

Hooray!!

Now to get sewing – my sister saw my fabric stash when we got home and commented that it is a little out of control and perhaps I didn’t need the above!

Stitching

18 Apr

I had a couple of friends over today for a craft afternoon. The last few have largely revolved around granny squares, so I thought I’d break out the DMC.

The bike is a patch for my husband’s satchel. It sort of resembles his Surly Big Dummy.

The tea cup is the first of a series I’ll be doing using A Print a Day’s gorgeous drawings. I think they’ll become a sort of patchwork cushion when done.

In the drawers of the previously featured Singer were these lovely old tools and notions. I love the scissors and the wooden spools!

1903 Singer

2 Apr

My great Aunt inherited a 1903 Singer Sewing Machine from a neighbour that passed away. As my Aunt is 90 and no longer sews she passed it onto mum. It’s just beautiful!
