A very quick post this week again I’m afraid……….
This month’s theme is sewing; my machine has gone into overdrive recently with assorted strings of bunting, cushions, bags, patchwork etc flying out at a rate of knots. It’s been manic!
Here’s a few of my favourite makes of the moment…….
Felt Union Jack Cushion
Floral Micro Bunting – Perfect for decorating your favourite ride….
Patchwork Bags – Tanglewood Style
I love this! It’s called the ‘Tanglewood’ bag and the pattern and full making up instructions are available to purchase from here – http://rosylittlethings.com/tanglewoodpattern.html
‘It’s a little bit hippie, a little bit preppy. It’s a little bit country and a little bit Liberty. It’s embroidered yokes and dangly earrings. It’s blackberry crumble, balmy nights, and piccolo solos. It’s picnic quilts spread out, corner-to-corner on the concert lawn. Bring on starlight: You’ve got the perfect bag for it now, honeygirl.’ Alicia Paulson – Posie, Rosy Little Things Blog.
Machine patchwork – Cool!
