This is a new strip and flip zipped purse made by my easy zip method. It can be made with a matching striped back or a plain back. This design was made to give something a little more challenging for my J-club ladies and one of then made the green and
Update. This design is now available in several sizes from My Garden Embroidery design. I think it could be very versatile. The largest on a tablecloth as shown, but the smallest (100mm square) would be good as a border on a tea towel. This design is
I think I have finished! I managed to get some fairly realistic leaf green felt so my twigs now have leaves - glued on with hot glue. The little birds are on cute little clothes pegs so they can move about. They can even pop outside to greet their wild fr
Thanks to everyone for their opinions on size. The bigger dress is intended for a little girl who is 15 months old. She has a baby sister due in a few weeks, so I hope the smaller version will be about "newborn" size.
Baby dress made with guess work and imagination. It measures just over 20" or 50 cm around the chest. Can someone tell me what age it might fit? The bodice is made ITH and the row of baby animals is from Urban. The shoulders fasten with Kam Snaps.
Update. My big sister told me off because the doll had no shoes. I hope she is now satisfied! I made this little jointed rag doll (ITH) with "built in" underwear two or three years ago and I found her when I was having a bit of a clear out. I tho
Easter bunnies for two little girls. They are expecting a baby sister at the end of March so a third one will be made when she arrives.
Like bemara, I couldn't resist this design yesterday. I used up my last few bits of old jeans to make this bag. The text shows up better in real life - I couldn't seem to get the exposure right on the photograph,
This cushion is made of the nine 140mm square quilt blocks I digitised for my J-club ladies. They should keep them busy for a while!
Another spin-off from my Bodger's Dream Quilt. I've been adjusting the designs to 180mm square for a friend and I thought I would try this one 4 times to make a cushion cover. The central square looked a bit plain so I finished it with some topstitching
Work in progress. The ladies at my J-club want to try ITH quilt blocks but most are limited to 140mm x 200mm hoops. So, I've been fiddling with the blocks that I digitised for my "bodger's dream" quilt. They were 230mm square and I thought they might
My friend from Maine brought me a big bag of fabric just before Christmas. There were a lot of pieces of red and a few blues so I thought I would play at making ITH quilt blocks for a sampler quilt. There are 30 23cm blocks. <br /><br /> I had to buy s
I couldn't resist the new "Chic Needlework" set from Urban Threads. I made this waterfall cardi to try out one of the designs. The neckline looks a strange shape because I had to put a couple of pins in to keep it on the hanger!
"Grandmother's eco-garden". I was given a couple of packets of Laura Ashley pre-cut hexagons so I started paper piecing (by hand). I found some off-white fabric and embroidered flower motifs on it for the central hexagons, and then put it all together.
Festive tablecloth. I was going to put cross stitch designs on this evenweave fabric until I bought some paper napkins with reindeer on and remembered this design from Urban Threads. The overlapped reindeer were part of the set, but I had to edit them
