Fabric Joy!!

Went into my local Spotlight Store for buttons - couldn't quite work out how the bill came to $57???
Oh yes that 6 metres of fabric - BUT it all was on clearance - bargain!!

Patchwork Pretty

This was one of my first patchworks, without a pattern, it was supposed to be a quilt for my guest bed BUT I ran out of fabric!!!! Tried many many sources but could not find anymore and I wasn't confident to introduce another fabric .
Then my mum had the bright idea to turn it into a double bed duvet cover, it was just the right size.
It looked so pretty on the single bed in my sewing room, the prefect place for my husband, children or cats to come in for a lie down and have a chat while I was sewing..
But last week we needed to move this bed into Andrew's room, he had bunk beds we brought from the UK, the bottom one needed a new mattress but being in Australia we could not source the right size anywhere. So my lovely duvet cover has been replaced by a Manchester United one!!!

And a wee cupcake cushion to match.

Tea towel Challenge

A new project for my Year 9 Home Economics Class.
Turning a tea towel into something else - hopefully something useful!
Any ideas??
I am sure the students will be more creative than me!

Gift for a Baby

Looking for a personalised gift for a new baby - decided to make a wee cushion in the colours of their new Nursery.
