On the market

The newest items to be added to my regular line are...... peasant style dresses (short or mid length sleeves) available in sizes 6m to size 8, and crochet hats also available in any size from infant to adult. I know I have some crochet hats already, these are similar, but with a vintage flare. The colours and accessories will be what makes them stand out from the rest! I am excited about these, if you are interested you can message me here or comment on my facebook page here.

Trying New Things Again

I have a LARGE stock pile of fabric and wasn't sure what to do with it until I saw a (what I thought would be) simple quilt pattern. Turns out the quilt is easy to put together until you have to do the free motion quilting. I have never done it before and thought I could just throw the quilt on the machine and go. Much to my surprise it is a lot harder then it looks. I started out with a large random squiggle and couldn't handle the imperfection of it so I picked it ALL out (2/3rds of the quilt) and then started doing wavy lines. It was easier but still not good enough so I cheated and put my walking foot back on and continued with the lines the hard but more even way. I am very happy with the results and now just have to put the binding on. Maybe I can quickly sew it on tonight and then do all the hand stitching while I spend Valentines evening with my husband... maybe that's bad? I find it really hard to just sit and watch TV or a movie without my hands doing something, for me it's time that needs to be used. Maybe because I have so little of it during the day??? Either way I hope to have it finished very soon, I have plenty more fabric to make these with so I need to get going! 

                                     

I am also in the process of getting labels made to sew into my projects.... I am very excited about this!!!!
