I thought I'd better report in and explain why I haven't been around much this week. My sister came to stay for a few days for some intensive sewing therapy with a job list as long as your arm! She has just gone home so I'll share some pictures of what she has made because I know she won't!
The felt Christmas items are some I digitised for my J-Club ladies. (The snowmen hold a chocolate snowman.)
The bag and zipped purse (made from my easy zip design) are a present for her friend and the cushion cover is a disappearing nine patch block I had been trying to explain to her over the phone.
Before she left she asked me to cut the fabric for several more projects.
I am now officially exhausted!
The work you and your sister have done here is outstanding, I particularly love the little felt ornaments and the cushion cover. You have been very productive. I know your sister would have had a wonderful time with you. Love Chris
My sister came last Monday with very expensive silk, lining and a pattern and wanted a gala dress. So we made a toile to to get a good fit and sewed the lining, which fortunately fitted like a glove and then the expensive outer, put in the invisible 60 cm zip. Then she had to go home to Italian classes, choir practice and so on. Sleeves are not done yet, so she returns next Monday, and we hope to finish Tuesday or Wednesday.
I was asked to help her, but it turned out she learned the most from watching (her words). She talked 5 quarters in an hour, so hubby made himself scares but we had a great albeit exhausting time.
Love all the items you two made!.
