Post 94 and a half

Well, three days with no computer certainly affects the craft output I must say !



Lottie and Lester dressed and off to Mirabel


A bag that has been awaiting its finish for far too long - Done !!! (bad photo-sorry)

Two frilly aprons as part of the handmade Christmas for my little ex-neighbours. I will give these along with chef's hats and a cook book!




My owl that was inspired by the gorgeous owls over at moonstitches. Mine are a bit rougher around the edges but have their own hairy eye-browed charm.

A parliament !!!! These are going to be pre-prepared last minute gifts - well they were. I had five this morning and am now down to two after showing them off at work - Luckily they are super quick to make.

and finally a doll quilt for my niece, to go with her dolly and accessories - just needs the binding

I am running behind on some important thank you's but they deserve their own post tomorrow- 94 and 3/4 maybe ????

  6. So that's the idea, break your computer and then you can get lots of sewing done.
    You have been very productive.
    Love the bag and aprons best.
    I'm getting so many ideas for Xmas presents but will I get them made?

  7. Hi Jodie, lovely to hear from you.

    The bag & aprons are just adorable. Where do you source your fabric from ? I love the vintage look.

  8. It's ALL brilliant! Maybe I need to ditch my computer for a few days too in order to get my Christmas sewing done. How did you do the gorgeous little frills around the aprons - do you have a ruffler foot for your machine or did you gather them all by hand?

  14. Wow Jodie that's some sewing output! I think you need to have a computer breakdown more often (although then we wouldn't get to see all your lovely things so I might have to rethink that!) I'm planning on having a go with the owls too and I love the expressions on your monkeys' faces - perfect!

  16. It all looks great Jodie!!! I love the red oilcloth you used in the bag... Where did you get it from?? I've been searching for some for a while now but just can't seem to find any nice designs like that one. The little owls are gorgeous, thanks for the link!! What did you stuff yours with? Great to see that you're getting on top of your handmade xmas gifts too.

  17. That doll quilt is gorgeous!! I can't figure out how I would get all the lines and squares to match up... did you wing it, or is there a pattern somewhere?! I would love to make a big version (as I no longer play with dolls! haha!).
