This is "Stripnflip Santa" - the latest addition to Engineered in Stitches. Thank you ethan for the inspiration! He is designed to hang, but I think I will make some without the ribbon to sit on bottles like this one is doing. He now has a little bro

I've made this fiddle bunny to take to a concert in aid of Alzheimers Research. I'm sure there will be someone there who knows someone who would like to have him. He has a bell trapped in one ear and a bead in the other. There is crinkly cellophane a

A change from the quilt! I thought I had CD's out of my system some years ago but they have resurfaced! The design for the Christmas version is now available from Engineered in Stitches. The one on the left is made with die cut poinsettia bracts and t

I've been AWOL due to a nasty virus, but in between paroxysms of coughing and feeling miserable I have managed to finish my ITH sampler quilt. I have to say I'm very pleased with the back! (The black stripe across the top is the hanging sleeve. I

This is what has been occupying me this week. Aldi had very cheap FQs at the weekend so I bought 3 packs. I added some white for sashing and black for backing and I'm using them to test my own ITH quilt blocks. These are pieced, backed, quilted and joine

The lighthouse now has a companion. Both designs are now available from my Facebook group (Engineered in Stitches.)

My big sister dropped this owl fabric off yesterday and told me that she needed a bag to send to her great granddaughter in Australia by the end of the week. As little sisters always do as they are told, I came up with this. I digitised an applique owl i

In a recycling mood today - I began with the skirt from a sundress I bought at a jumble sale, the lid of a CD spindle and two scrap CDs. I had to add some Bump from my stash but that is all. The basket is in two sections, each was made ITH. Pockets fir

My Green Man found a friend! The two sets of designs are now available from Engineered in Stitches. All made and assembled in the hoop.

Fresh out of the hoop - this green man has been in my head for a couple of weeks while I have been away and has just seen the light of day for the first time. He is made in the hoop using felt (3 hoopings) and measures about 30 cm across. I plan to stretc

This is Bella the Baby Elephant. Her huge ears have plenty of room for messages which can be added while she is being stitched out. She is very quick to make - she only needs two hoopings, but does need a little bit of hand sewing to finish. (The trunk an

It has been a miserable wet day here so I've been playing. This Swirly Unicorn is what I've come up with. She can be made in one hooping (180 x 300 hoop) or two hoopings (130 x 180 or 160 x 260.) Find her in Engineered in Stitches.

I love it when a design turns out to be versatile! This table mat was made from two I-pad case flaps stitched together.

I was asked to design an ITH patchwork case for an I-Pad mini. (As I don't have one, I made a mock-up with a cereal packet!) The design is really a clutch bag in two sizes, made to be a snug fit for a 7 inch tablet or an I-Pad mini but could have many
