Following the popularity of the easy zip purse, and quite a few requests, I decided to make a set of designs in a range of sizes including some quilting. While I was testing them, I came up with a different way of adding the fabric to get the extra touch

Have a laugh at my expense: I'm testing a set of quilted zipped purses using the easy zip method. I got to the part when I needed to open the zip before putting the purse back on when I realised I'd forgotten to put the zip in. The fancy stitching t

Yoriko asked me if any of Beaky's relatives would like a new career as a car rubbish bag so I came up with this. He is made in the hoop and comes in three sizes. This is the smallest (130 x 180) and I was very please to find that his pocket was a per

Meet Beaky Owl. Made in the hoop. Three hoopings, but still quick to make and a useful result! He comes in a range of sizes and is fully lined with no raw edges. There is a tiny bit of h and sewing. (Sorry queen of hearts!) The corduroy one is the smalles

How to get your husband to do more housework - buy him a robotic floor cleaner! It is a cute little flying saucer with an electrostatic pad on the underside. It tootles round the floor picking up dust and dog hair (and frightening the dog.) Mike has playe

It is a very long time since I tried to make anything as complex as this jacket - and it shows! At least I can say that the embroidery is exactly where I meant it to be! The design is the Steampunk sleeve from Urban Threads. The pin is temporary until

I'm not a Halloween person, but I couldn't resist this little pumpkin. It was very quick and easy to crochet.

I thought I would start a thread to chat about Secret Santa so that new members can see what happens. If I decide to go ahead for this year I will be asking who wants to take part in a couple of weeks, but first I'd like your comments and experiences.

I was working on this design last week while I was away on holiday and I found time to test it today. I probably shouldn't have bothered because it was "one of those days". So much went wrong - however, I am quite pleased with the result for a first dr

My daughter likes yarn and sheep, so this Embroidery Library seemed almost perfect for her. If only they were crocheting not knitting!

I was looking at tfk's ITH purses with the cute little side pockets when I remembered this half completed design I was working on just after I got my big hoop. This afternoon I found time to tweak it a bit and test it to see if the engineering worked bef

I thought it was high time I played with the decorative stitches on my machine, but I had no particular use in mind. So I used the leg off some old jeans to cut the pieces to make the zipped purse currently offered free on Yoriko's site and stitched the
