Thank you Linda for my lovely crochet dishcloths that you made.....I have been using them and they are fantastic, and also for my retro-style mugs!

Linda also made me this framed dressform for my sewing room. It is truly beautiful and sits nicely in my fabric cupboard.
I've done a little sewing this week - with a holiday down south at Busselton and school holidays and sleepovers and movies and playovers and....well, I haven't done a lot of sewing this past fortnight!
I made this from black corduroy and animal print scraps. It's New Look 6391 View B I won't talk about the pocket that I forgot to add to the inside! This is a very easy pattern and you can whip one up in a night. I have my eye on the View A as well.
School holidays are now over and school starts tomorrow, so I'll be ironing and preparing the kids for their new week.....and getting some sewing done - Yee ha!
Have a great week.
Glad to see you back. Do you really like the dishcloths? As i said Andrew hates them but i quite like them. Now the bag looks gorgeous, whip one up in a night? yeah, I like the black one at the top. Not that i am hinting.I have a pattern here waiting for me to make. :)
ReplyDeleteAm not inspired to do much lately. :(
Say hi to the kids for me
xx Linda
I've been wanting some crocheted dishcloths. I've heard that they work really well. I think I may learn to crochet just so I have some.
ReplyDeleteGreat purse. I love your fabric choices. We have that pattern, and my teenage daughter sewed up a bunch of those a few years ago and sold them to some ladies at church.
Gorgeous pics of your pressies! I am loving the dishcloth too...I like that they are washable and they work well too.
ReplyDeleteYour bag is great. I know what you mean about the holidays...I've haven't done much crafting either :( but today starts a new week! Get back to that sewing machine!!! LOL
Hi Jenni
ReplyDeleteYour new bag looks fabulous - you can never have too many!!! I am also looking forward to school going back, for the sake of creativity of course.
Hello! I've just arrived here, and love that bag!
