Christmas Gold Purse
After spending some time in the garden this morning it’s always nice to come inside and watch gardening programmes on Netflix while doing some sewing.

Embroidery Collage
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…
