Yes, I'm catching up!!

These wild trousers were made this weekend for my nephew -a rather belated birthday present, they're lined in flannel which I dyed to match the turquoise fabric, so they're yummy and warm... you can get away with this sort of thing when you're 3! They'd just make my bum look huge. That said my brother (not the little lad's dad... t'other brother!) fancies a pair of chefs' trousers in this fabric... maybe no flannel lining for him though...kitchens get rather hot!

STOP PRESS!!!
I just won an embroidery machine on Ebay!!! WHOOOOOOO:-)
a Janome 5700 for those who know these things... watch this space!!

Sew much fabric Sew little time

I haven't actually been feeling very productive lately, but here's some trousers I made for DS... they're very cute with little dinos on them, but he does keep peeing in them!!! Still, I know they wash well ;-) I have a list as long as your arm (or maybe longer if you have particularly short arms!) of stuff that needs doing! all the children need more clothes (clothes that fit would be good!) I feel so much better when I get some sewing done... so all it needs is a little more time in the day! I bought some cool goodies on Ebay last week.. a walking foot and an adaptor thingy so I can use cheaper accessories with my Bernina machine..yeyyy! so much fun for only $30!!! Oh and I got 25 bobbins... so I can stop wasting time unwinding the wrong colour from one of the three I have that actually fit!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

For October I'm making special bags to sell in aid of Cancer charities -this is just my little bit to help and to say " more power to you" to the friends of mine who are battling with this horrible disease.

This is one such Pink Ribbon bag more to come!
