I want to do way more but haven't the time... I have thoughts about projects in the car, at the gym and even at work but sadly only managed to unpick one seam of a coat I want to replace the lining in for the winter!

Glad I am not the only one then!
I had planned to start "working" at the sewing machine today, but one thing lead to another and its now time to leave to collect DGD from school. So another day where I will not be doing much more than some hand sewing infront of the TV.

Yesterday evening I managed to take the seam ripper to one (yes just one) seam of the lining of a coat I'm hoping to re-line for the winter! Slow progress. What we need is a snow day...:snow_grin then I'd be able to have a sneaky sewing day!

Well I had a foot operation on Monday, so have some enforced rest. Despite it being my right foot, I've managed to use my machine to finish these appliqued cushion covers for Christmas gifts







Have also made hanging kitchen towels but haven't taken pics yet.

Lovely cushions cuddles xx

I have been making some bags, finished another on this morning, its a crossbody kind of bag made out of furry material. Will post a pic when I get it off my camera.

Also been cutting out some more tote bags but need to wait on a delivery of some more fabrics to be able to sew them up.

Got some felt key rings cut out so will have a go at stitching some of them up this afternoon

I rang about buying a machine and spoke to him. When I asked a question, he slammed the phone down! I rang back and he said he didn't want to do business with me.

I posted about it on here.
So pleased he's been outed.
