One Project A Month - April

At christmas I had some money from my Mum, so I bought this book... and some lovely Makower fabric - the Keiko collection from here .... http://www.sewcreativequilts.co.uk/shop/231-makower-prints/3415-keiko-patchwork-570-b2 The other week I decided that I would make a sewing machine cover for myself




the patterned side is the front.....




and the cream spot fabric is the other side. With the leftover fabric I've made a fabric bookmark and matching lavender heart with the patchwork design fabric and used up some scraps of lace and ribbon. and the leftover blue dots fabric, I've made a pocket tissue case and matching lavender heart.






I've also made another pocket tissue case from fabric leftover from making my Mum's rag quilt from the other christmas, it's the Butterfly Gardens range from Makower.





Oh I've made another tea cosy too!




So I'll count these as seven finishes for One Project A Month for April, more pics to follow when I've finished them......apron and peg bag (to match the tea cosy)












    Have a good weekend.

    What beautiful craftwork Jose.

    Someone mentioned to me in passing that Uk Gov are offering business startup grants worth £1500 that includes a few months free rent and rates, free internet access, and access to a business mentor for a while.

    I'm a bit dubious, 'cause £1500 isn't a lot, but hey, better than nothing. I'll see if I can find out what it's about x

    smilerpb - thanks, it was lovely fabric to work with.

    Julie - thank you, I've been wanting to buy this book for ages and its really good, some lovely quilts to make.

    Wheelie - thanks. I had a look at UK gov about the the business start-up grants and it's only in certain areas but thanks for the info anyway
