Sewing Mad!


This new machine is keeping me busy, I cant sit still but to create something new. I couldn’t wait to make some aprons, and they came with the bonus joy of picking out the fabric. That process took me longer than I thought it would, but it was lovely thinking of someone and trying to find them in fabrics.

My beautiful cousin Jo is getting married next year which inspired my next creation. When I was married (many moons ago!!) my mother gave me her garter to wear which her mother hade made for her. I of course felt the need to make Jo one. No plan, just thought I would wing it. Bought some elastic, pretty white fabric, lace and ribbon. Then created what you see. Hope she loves it

Then I was browsing Martha Stewarts website and found this great bag to make. Such a cute different style, I had to try it and had the perfect fabric for it.

It took no time at all and off to the shops to do the groceries with a flick of my hair and a kick in my step as I walked round with my new fashion accessory!
