The lazy woman's guide to decorating a Christmas cake. (A work in progress!) The top is quilted and it is being modeled by the tin I made the cake in. (The actual cake is wrapped up to mature.) I'm not sure yet what to do with the sides. I think I'll e

My stitch and show. These redwork sewing blocks were just about the first designs I downloaded with my first paid membership. This is an apron for my sewing machine. The first picture shows it in place, the second shows the whole thing and the third is a

I had a request for some Christmas Towel toppers. I hope these do the business! The basic plan is that the towel forms the body of the character. They are Ronnie the reindeer, Sidney the snowman and, of course, the man in red himself. The designs are a

Christmas cutlery holders - made in two hoopings, fully lined with no raw edges inside. I spent quite a while puzzling over the engineering for these! The inspiration came from the fabulous fabric - It is printed cotton but looks just like knitting. Yo

For a gift bottle - this is an Urban Threads design from the "Apothecary" set. I added an extra outline and satin stitch to make it free standing and elastic to keep it on the bottle. They aren't untrimmed jumps you can see,they are actually running

Roll up case for pencils. Made ITH in two (or more) sections. The pencils are held firmly with elastic and the ends are protected by fabric pockets. This could also be used for crochet hooks. (Each section holds eight of whatever you want to put in, no

I created these dollies to look like the paper ones I used to cut out from folded paper when I was a little girl. They button together to make names or messages. Hope you like them!

I found this idea on the Urban Threads site so I used a test stitchout to try it. I wish I'd left the stabiliser in place behind the white fabric.

An assortment of notebooks, diaries and one address book I have covered to use some of my stash of printed cottons. (Oops the music diary, top left is upside down!) They all have curtain interlining inside for a bit more body.

Christmas Card - the green sparkly background is from a muesli packet. (Not greasy like crisps/chips!) The tree is stitched on tear-away stabiliser and then cut out and stuck to the card. I used a Sharpie to colour the peel-offs to match.

Pegbag - I thought I'd try out the design Stella (the Duchess) asked for yesterday. The bag is waiting for a strip of wood and a hook in the top but himself has man flu and I hadn't the heart to send him out to the workshop.

Hand cross-stitch. This is a birthday gift for my good friend who looks after the garden when we are away. Unfortunately I didn't do enough research before I ordered the kit and I haven't enjoyed stitching it as much as I should. It relies too heavily o

ITH Christmas stockings inspired by Scandinavian traditional knitting designs. I just love watching cross stitch designs stitch out - it is like magic!
