Notebook cover Inspired by Sue I bought these buttons and used the first 5 of 150. Digitized and sewed the stem and leaves, added the buttons and a number of lines using stitches from my sewing machine. I'm quite pleased with the result.

Notebook (A6) covers. My favourite way to use tests and remnants - book covers for small notebooks. For the last one I digitised a simple boat to match the print on the linen.

Bib and bapron Used some remnants to make these. The fronts are made from the back of one of my SiL's discarded shirts, the backs from two different scraps of flanel. I only had a small amount of biastape left, so I lined the bapron instead of bin

New Year's resolution. I decided to use up all bits and pieces of yarn and do something about my fabric stash as well. Here's what I did in a month before the cross stitch bug bit me: 2 crochet baby blankets and 8 crochet hats plus one cheater p

Golden Rod in cross stitch. Stitched out this design I made a fortnight ago. Looks pretty, doesn't it. Well, it would be nice done by hand. However, there are too many unconnected stitches to make it a nice design for machine embroidery. I hat

Biscornu The last pincushion, I really must do something else. They all fit a 4x4 hoop. I stitched a treble stitch on my sewing machine along the edge (forgot to digitise that) and used a whip stitch through those stitches to sew the two

Bookmarks The one on the left I made some 40 years ago. It was an Eva Rosenstrand design. The one on the right I made today, by machine. What gives the game away is the machine stitch I used to secure the fringe. The design stitched in 13
