sewing Lessons for the Children

Today being Saturday, it is the day the Children come to sew.

Although today we didn't get much sewing done. We were choosing fabrics etc to make a sewing machine cover. Influenced by this months issue of Love Sewing and Simply Sewing. 

This picture is of the start to one little girls  "caravan" 

Eventually they will be appliqués together then of course the rear and the sides will be created, before assembling it all together into an incredible cover. 

last minute Christmas Makes

Having been unwell and not into venturing outside I made some last minute makes at home. Using info from one of the threads on MSE, I made some 'ode to Lager' gifts. Pint Pots, black and white socks rolled up inside, a poem, all wrapped up in cellophane with gold ribbon. A little something for the men in the family. however I forgot to take photos so I cannot post a picture until I go back home tomorrow. 

But I can show you the personalised Stocking that I made for my daughters partner, with a rocking Santa playing the guitar, as he is a great guitar player. 

Santa's Stockings

Today saw me at home all day as DGD was ill. So time to think Christmas and get going.

Appliqué day

Hopefully these will go at the weekend. 

The table top is fast approaching and today I have been making some adaptations to T. Shirts ready to sell.
