Crafty times!


Oh the school holidays! Well none of us actually go to school anymore but its still the same thing really, I'm surprised we're not doing papier-mache.

After a brilliant trip to Leon's (a local fabric shop) we set about some serious sewing...

Today I finished covering a mini sofa for one of my friends, her kids sit on it all the time and they look so cute! Sadly it had been loved a little too much and the cover had been ripped- luckily I stepped in to reupholster it with some strawberry fabric.

I really hope they like it! (to be honest I'm not sure I want to give it back now- the fabric is so nice!)


Now, me and Hatty sewing is not all that unusual but I am thrilled to inform you that my darling sister has been joining in making this BEAUTIFUL cushion which she lovingly hand embroidered- she also fitted her very first zip... I am so proud! 


I could not for the life of me get this to be the right way up

chain stitch which was lovingly taught by my aunty clare on my hen weekend away 
This is completely unsarcastic, Kate never normally makes thing yet she seems to be nearly as good as me- perhaps I should brush up on my knowledge of the kidneys. So much more lovely fabric still waiting! Including Kate's next project- I keep you posted!
