    Scrap stitching

    I decided to try something new, well for me anyway! Just choose random scraps from the scrap pile, one of them, and see what I can create. No pattern required.  I love it. It’s kind of like free motion sewing without the sewing machine, so it’s totally relaxing. I have been pinning these kind of…

    Inspired during my holiday, at home by the sea, and a painting I found on Pinterest, I was inspired to do this piece of freemotion sewing.   This is the original piece “Padstow Seagulls” Canvas Art by Hannah Tolson, which features a friendly flock of seagulls flying over Padstow harbour.

    Even though it rained all weekend I thought it was time to make some spring clothes.  Otherwise, spring will have sprung and I will be left with gorgeous spring fabric in my cupboard and nothing to wear.   I’ve had this fabric sitting there for about three years so I’m pretty pleased with this little…

    Thought I might just whip up a slightly larger bag while my fabric was all over the floor and table!  Fun to make.  Quick and easy … about 40 mins
