This t-shirt was a catalogue of disasters. I ended up doing most of it on my sewing machine! I may share the story in community when I've had a cup of tea and calmed down a bit.

This is the latest bubble off my think tank. I don't know why I didn't think of it before. It is a good fit for a compact camera. Made in one hooping, fully lined with no raw edges inside. Really quick to make as well!

Lilylady has a problem posting a picture of the lovely gift she received for her birthday last Thursday. Luckily I am able to help as her SS sent a picture to me.

As yet un-named, this baby elephant is made in two hoopings. I'll put the design in DBC later when I've sorted the instructions.
