Hoop storage. For my MC 11000SE I had hanging pockets which kept all my hoops safe and to hand. The hoops for my MC 15000 are far two unwieldy to do that so I had to think of a new idea. Mike made me a strong wooden frame on a thick base and cut thin shee

Another wooden box. This one took two sheets and you will see that they are not quite the same colour. (I think they will fade to be the same.) Don't be afraid of stitching on balsa wood - you can cut it with scissors! Hoop tear away stabiliser and

I've had this box waiting "the treatment" for a while. It is just under 25cm square. My 230mm square hoop was just big enough to fit the balsa sheets in and stitch this design from Urban Threads.<br /><br /> The box had contained a Sachertorte which

The postman brought me some squeakers today, so I made a bear to put one in. This one was made in the 230mm x 300mm hoop. I need to go back to the design and make the mouth bolder so it doesn't disappear into his face.

At last I've had time to play with my new machine. (To say I've been frustrated would be an understatement!) Here is a placemat made in the 230mm x 300mm hoop. The cutlery is not a reflection on our table manners! I just thought the gardening tools w

Jumble Sale Challenge #3 This is the back of the same pair of jeans. I like it much better than the first one. By the way, this is the last project from my MC11000SE!

Jumble Sale Challenge #2 I saw something like this on Pinterest and I'm not 100% happy with my version. It would have been better with a larger pair of jeans. (These were only size 8)

I stole the idea for this cushion from Rosakent. (Thanks Jo!) I had a few hexagons left over from a previous project which didn't "go" with my current project so I used them for this quickie.

I've added some new wooden buttons to my collection so I had to try them out. I used one of my own designs (available on Yoriko's site). I enlarged the design file and deleted the little flowers. I was going to stitch some parts of the design twice so t

Jumble Sale Challenge #1 This shirt was a size 20 (I'm a 12) but it looked unworn and I liked the colour. I had to cut up the side seams to get the design (Urban Threads) positioned near the neckline, so it was easy to restitch the side and sleeve sea

Jellyroll quilt - made "strip and flip" on a polar fleece backing. I couldn't get quite high enough with the camera to keep the picture rectangular! The vertical stripes are cut narrower than the rainbow jellyroll strips (it isn't your eyes.) It me

Some hand embroidery for a change. This was a kit Scottie gave to me shortly before she died. It is extremely complex, particularly as it is small (20cm x 15cm). The mount was embroidered separately and both it and the central picture use a variety of

A lady at my Stitching Bee asked me if I could teach her to smock, so I thought I'd better see if I could actually remember how to do it! I gathered up a piece of gingham to show her on and couldn't stop, so I had to make it into a baby dress.

This little zipped purse appeared in DBC a long time ago. Seeing Teun's lovely purses the other day made me think about making the design a little bit more sophisticated. So here it is - now fully lined with no raw edges inside. It fits in the 130mm x 1

ITH zipped strip and flip patchwork purses. I had so many nice comments about the purse I showed last week that I decided to develop the design. It now has an optional strip and flip back and comes in three sizes. It is fully lined with no raw edges or v
