Hello crafty friends! I am popping in today to show you my latest card. It is for my Mum's birthday. I couldn't even find the inspiration for that. I have to admit to cheating . . . badly. You might recognise this one. It is a card that I had made previously and had in my stash, which I cut the front off and mounted it to a larger card base on which I embossed with a stencil, colouring the paste to the colours used on the card. I sprinkled the paste with iridescent glitter before it was dry.
In the meantime, whilst my mojo has deserted me, I am doing some sewing (that doesn't require any creative input).
Above is a dress that I made by attaching a piece of plain black fabric - that I gathered - to a sleeveless top that I made a little while ago. The piece hanging around the neck of the hanger is a 'self belt', made from the same fabric as the top.

Hello crafty friends! I hope you are all well. I have been doing a couple more sewing projects. Sorry, I haven't done a card in a while, I promise to get one done soon.
My first project today, is a large tote bag. It is padded and lined and I used some of the fabric that I used for my cushions and lined it with a daisy print fabric.
The second project is an e-book reader cover, also padded and lined.
This gorgeous fabric was gifted to me by one of the lovely ladies that I craft with on a Wednesday evening.
Don't look too closely at the projects as they are far from perfect, but I am learning all the time!

Hello everybody. I hope you have all had a good week so far. I have been playing with my new toy - my new sewing machine - today, I am showing one of my first projects.
I used to sew in my early teens and young adulthood, but as clothes got cheaper and life got busier, I just stopped. So, as it has been so long, I wanted to start small, with something easy.
I wanted some new cushion covers, so I decided that would be a good place to start. They are nothing special, and they aren't complicated to make, but I had fun making them.
Here are a couple of pictures of them.
** EDIT ** I forgot to mention that, the fabric came from a duvet cover that I purchased because I loved the print. And I put a zip/zipper in, in order that I may wash them.
