The Sewing Room

Well done Keiss xx

I have started some new projects over the weekend. I have made up a baby play mat, just need to hand sew the binding to the back. Was going to do it Saturday but then I found some pictures on the internet of crazy quilting. It is something I saw a while ago and thought it looked lovely but then forgot all about it. I have a load of scraps of fabrics left over from the applique cushions I made so I thought I would have a go at making some cushions. I made two fronts up on the machine, then brought them downstairs to decorate with buttons, beads and embroidery. They are looking nice, I am really pleased with them. One is nearly finished, but I cant complete the cushion cover today as OH is asleep on nights again so I will put them on my blog when they are finished off. If you search crazy quilting you will see what I mean about how lovely it is.

Hi, I managed to cut out a couple of bags, a purse, and a tissue holder. Got an order for them today. But didnt get around to sewing them.
Have been sewing the diaper cover. Not quite finished, but the arm was saying enough is enough. So I am sitting with the heatpad. The laptop, and DGD playing on the floor infront of me.
I should really be hanging out the washing and getting it dry. But I dont feel I can reach up to the washing line without inflicting more pain. And as I am not a masochist, I am not going to.

Here are the bags I made at the wkend and one I did today

The stripe one we have called the butchers apron :rotfl:

This one was made from a curtain, the zip matched the lining perfectly

I finally managed to get hold of this fabric, I have been trying to get it for months and I found it on Ebay so I made this bag today

The lining fabric I brought a few weeks ago from Cromford, I love it and will have to buy more when I get paid as it will be ideal for any of the bags I make The pattern is a bit more of a shadow effect but my camara has realy picked it up

Thank you Pootle and irishgirl

I have been trying everywhere to get the black tattoo fabric and was so pleased to get it at last
I hope to make a matching purse and make-up bag today
Not having my car and living in a remote village has it's advantages :rotfl: I am not wandering off and can do more sewing :rotfl:
