The bright colours of the doily sitting on my sewing desk kept attracting me so I just had to make something out of it …
It’s so nice to repurpose the old embroideries.
🤍
There’s a few more sitting there too 🧵 🪡

It doesn’t take long to add a bit of loviliness to towels in the bathroom. I don’t usually ‘bling’ the drying towels but just the ones people dry their hands on.
Also makes a great Christmas gift!
Bye for now!

I have been enjoying collaging little boxes (usually from the pantry) but now I had created a situation where they were starting to annoy me. Then this morning I thought, yes, I will collage an old box and put the little boxes in the box. And here is the result.
Starting with a picture of ‘the situation’…
Finding an old box…
The initial A4 and A3 paper I stuck on is one of my own designs using domain free images found on the internet.
Then I used some beautiful Michel Design Works serviettes to pull it all together
And here is the finished result…
And then I saw a bottle in my bathroom and thought, I wonder…
Quite a good start to the day I’d say!
Now what shall I do.
Take care ~ Jo x
Oh wow! I love this! It turned out better than I could have imagined. Bought the $6 denim jacked from an opportunity shop with this in mind but didn’t know what fabric I would use. Settled on this white lacy look fabric and then ended up doing the free motion sewing around the cut out edges of the denim. It looks pink because the dress underneath is pink, but it is actually white. Can’t wait to wear it!
