I covered a couple of IKEA chairs using fat quarters from Aldi and I had a few bits left .... so I made a bag. I used my own modular tote design and used a simple applique design in place of the zipped pocket and the flap pocket. I made the handles with f

This is a block I digitised to piece in the hoop. The 4 blocks were also joined ITH. The back of the cushion was added on the sewing machine. If I had decided at the outset that it would be a cushion, it would have all been done in the hoop.

Thanks to Mops for posting her picture of the Virus meets granny square shawl. Just after I saw it, I was given a huge bag of yarn (as if I needed more!) which was a late friend's stash. Mops picture inspired me to search for the pattern and I discove

As you may know, I love to push the boundaries of the possibilities for ITH designs. These are my latest.<br /><br /> All are made with just the bare minimum of straight sewing when they come out of the hoop. (Shoulder seams on the waistcoats, sides se

Cheese cloth top (as we are having a heatwave!) I digitised a simple neckline and added the designs from Urban Threads. This went in the middle of a rectangle of fabric. My design added a facing. Then I hemmed the sides (4mm rolled hem foot) and the botto

At last a correct answer! These meringues are made from Aqua Farba, cream of tartar and sugar. Aqua Farba literally means "bean water" and means the liquid beans have been cooked in. I can't even estimate the amount of this I've thrown away ove

The first post under my project I posted this morning really made my day and made me realise that we can all make a difference in other people's lives. If it is so easy to do it while sewing and enjoying ourselves, why aren't there more posts in the pro

"Chaos Theory" - when I began making this, I wanted it to be ugly! I chose genuine scraps which were no use for anything else and didn't go together. (It was paper pieced on scrap paper and I used up random thread left on bobbins.)<br /><br /><br /><br

Ugly quilt made from scraps. I've seen some amazing "scrap" quilts posted here made with beautifully colour coordinated fabrics. This isn't one of them! The blocks are pieced onto 21 cm squares of scrap paper. The size was decided as it is the bigg

This quilt was hand stitched with contributions from 30 or so people. The fabric was 3 FQ packs from Aldi. plus quite a lot of Ditte from Ikea. I assembled it, backed it with fleece and quilted it using my embroidery machine and a hexagonal flower design

All stitched by hand. (Back view for Kim!) I find the best way to find those annoying last few papers is to hanging the top up and stare at it! This began at a workshop at Easter then about 35 people each made one of the flowers. Some had never tried

Edited to show both sizes. This was another idea I was brewing while I was away. The design is now in Engineered in Stitches. 160 x 260 and 200 x 300.<br /><br /> All made ITH except for a small gap to hand stitch. Extra inspiration came from the fa

I've been away from home for a few weeks so when I had time after doing all of the washing, I had to try some ideas I'd had while I was away. The necklines on these two tops were made in the hoop (including adding the facing.) I've shown a close up of
