Christmas sewing!

Well after seeing all the Christmas ads on tv, and especially the Coca Cola one (it's like a tradition in our house, being the first one to spot it on the TV lol!), I thought I should sew something Christmassy!
I thought I'd have a go at sewing something a bit different from my usual fare, as there are only so many Kindle, Ipad, and phone cases you can sew before you go mad lol!
I picked the reindeer from the beautiful Scandinavian Needlecraft book. I've never made anything like this, and certainly never done decorative hand stitching - still, I think it turned out ok for a first attempt lol!


Thanks for looking

Friday 2 November 2012

And here it is . . .

Jamie's wardrobe for the Sewing Mamas Ottobre Sewing With a Plan contest!

(I got all the patterns from one issue - 1/2011)



It was awesome fun, and I think my favourite thing of the whole contest were these photo poses I got while trying to get 'proper' shots for the composite picture above - this boy REALLY loves the camera!




Here are some 'detail' shots - there was a LOT of stitching lol!






So wish me luck...we find out on the 8th November who has won!

Thanks for looking

Getting an early start...

Well for some reason, (and trust me, this NEVER happens!), I'm making an early start on things for that most dreaded of C-words... CHRI...
