Sorry to be showing such an ugly photograph….. this magnetic snap has worn away the bag lining. Now I remember why I always apply magnetic snaps this way …. I’ve had this bag for ages. I like this bag, I use this bag everyday and now it’s …. defunct….nothing I can do with it apart [...]

This week has been full of distractions. Some good some bad, some extremely frustrating and connected to the ‘dark side’ of trying to build/develop an internet business. On the positive side though I’ve been getting distracted by all the lovely bloglines that I need to catch up on, by the glorious autumn sunshine outside and [...]

…the fabric is Tapestry from Valori Wells’ Del Hi fabric collection… I’m waiting for a few more fabrics from that range to arrive…. I’ve called it the Drop-in Bag because you can drop in your keys, you credit/store cards, your shopping list (Does anyone actually write those and remember to take them with them?), drop [...]

A little patchwork bag…

This is a little bag which I made for me…. a bag to grab and run with as I dash out to pick up the children from school. It isn’t huge, so hopefully it won’t collect all the detritus that my bags tend to collect. It’s been sitting on my sewing table for an age. [...]

Something I’ve sewn A little patchwork sewing pouch. …. ‘It’s a bit textiley, Mum’….. which I think is Rosie speak for it’s granny-ish old fashioned traditional looking. I’m wondering whether to make a tutorial out of it. It’s quite easy to alter it’s looks by either using one fabric and binding the edges or do [...]

I don’t often make bags with metal frames but I’ve succumbed. What do you think? This is a brooch …. It’s been lousy light for photographing today – but if I wait for sunshine (or even daylight) it could be next spring before I get to share anything. This is made using Lacework and the [...]

Sewing…..

It’s strange sometimes when you look at fabric and it almost tells you what it wants to be when it’s not longer flat wrapped around a carboard bolt. That’s the kind of relationship I have with this Barefoot Roses It’s a beautiful old fashioned, blousy rose print and to me it always says ‘Grandma’ – [...]
