Now, my turn...

My mum always sewed for us, mostly clothes. And has continued for mine and my sisters kids too, though not so frequently anymore. So I am the lucky receipiant of some of her patterns. I am excited and nervous about trying them. Waiting for the right time to get them out.

While we were away in the country, I came across a hidden gem. A country fabric store with an amazing range of material. I of course could not help myself and spent a good hour in there touching and looking and gooing and gaaing!
The next day I snuck in with the credit card..... the decisions were tough, but I got some pretty stuff.
See the pretty waffle cotton...

When I got home I realised I am going through a bit of a green phase with my selection. Maybe it was the country surroundings influencing my colour palate.

I am extremely keen to sew again, and even have a few orders for things (EXCITING) but I am close to finishing my course and need to design a rug and light before I can start up the machine!

Oh Machine...I will return
