this weeks sewing.....

24th October 2008

Well I've just finished Morsbag No 9 , this is going to be a christmas pressie for my mum. The beige fabric is an old pillowcase and the new fabric is Cho Cho Sampomichi, from a pack of five fat quarters, which I bought when we on holiday in Norfolk earlier this year.

I've also finished this sewing machine cover, applique hearts of Rosali fabric, floral, spot and gingham, finished off with flower buttons, generously sized at H = 13" inches, W = 16" inches and D = 6" inches, this is for sale in my Etsy shop prices at £10 plus P+P. (sold - thank you)


Current WIP are :

  • back of the denim button peg bag
  • 4 cushion covers and two pillowcases from the Dorma fabric
  • and the Button berry bag from ages ago, I just can't seem to get motivated to finish that, I think it's because it means sewing small pieces of fabric and it's a new pattern.

  • Morsbag no 10 and 11 and .......
....well I'm off to try and finish something, so I hope you all have a good weekend.
Update: Finished the back of the button peg bag .....and also made Morsbag No 10, the fabric is also from the fat quarter pack and there are also three applique flowers on the other side.
and Morsbag No 11, ( three hearts) I think these fabric bags are much nicer than boring plastic bags and you can wash them!

Etsy Shop..another item finished..and another..and...

Well, its taken me nearly a week and I've finished the second sewing machine cover, its a patchwork design in a primitive, homespun theme and I've made a matching pin-cushion. Generously sized, H = 12" / W = 17" / D = 7", it should fit most sewing machines.
(sold - thank you)The items I make are one off original designs, at I hope affordable prices.



I've also finished an embroidered one, by recycling an old tablecloth...(H = 13"/W = 17"/D = 7")
Can you remember I bought the tablecloth at Elsecar craft fair? It had a few small rips in it so I thought I would make something useful and pretty from it.




These are now for sale in my Etsy shop, thanks for looking, any comments and suggestions are welcome.
