I have been wanting to give making a tote bag a go for a while, so this weekend was the right time to try. I have combined the canvas type fabric (found at the Mt Maunganui Sally Army) with an opshop find tray mat with orange embroidery. Lined with blue gingham, and the other one yellow, I love them!
Then of course I had to make a few matching purses with the cutest little brass zips found in my zip stash!
Hi! 🐝
Winter continues and the warmth of the sewing room beckons. So I just got home from church and made this sweet love picture. Simple and clean.
Have a nice day and I hope you are inspired to create 💕
Last day of my mini holiday (Queens Birthday weekend). I have quite a few cross stitches that are finished waiting for me to frame, or make into cushions, book covers … who knows, and so I got started on this little one and just love it. I think the mix of freemotion sewing, fabric and cross-stitch looks perfect.
This is my first journal and I love it! I’ve been watching You Tube tutorials and think they are lovely. I used the denim cut out from my Denim Delight, Decontructed Jacket, and I’ve got to say I’m now hooked on the denim with white freemotion sewing …….love!
I’m thought I was too much of an IT geek to use one as I prefer electronic medium rather than paper, but I could be tempted! And it smells so good…
Then I decided to add a small bag in the pocket at the front…
And why not have a matching pencil case to fit a few pens in…
I’ts a very rainy day here today so perfect for creating in my sewing room 🙂

Just finished this little emboidery I started a few months ago. One of those things you do on the side when you’ve got a few spare moments. It’s something a little different for me because I didn’t use the sewing machine. But I do love hand sewing. The finished product is only 210mm x 200mm so quite dainty.
One of the things I like is that it isn’t perfect. There are frayed edges and uneven stitches, which is not my natural way of doing things…. but I just love the finished look.
