The Sewing Room

OK now i can post linkies here are my makes.

I made this wrist pincushion as am always have problems fiddling around when Im taking my pins out when at my sewing machine and when pinning things so thought this might help! (Spot the "un"deliberate mistake - yes - I sewed the watch face on the wrong way round - doh!! Ill fix it when I get the chance.) Excuse the blanket stitching. Never done anything with embroidery thread before...:o





Made this toilet bag for my best friend (its a guy so I couldnt use girlie fabrics!!) Thanks to those who suggested the shower curtain for lining. Got one for £1 and it worked a treat!!

:rotfl::rotfl: well someone had to and I always engage my mouth (well fingers in this case) before my brain :rotfl:

It was worth waiting for your pics, love the bag. I keep meaning to make one myself and your watch pincushion is such a clever idea :T

Yeah! Finally we got piccies! Brilliant makes, love the pin cushion loads! Your toiletry bag is brill to, very neat, isn't it difficult making stuff for blokes?
I am the only girl in our house (I say girl, ha ha ...) among 5 blokes/boys, and they don't want any of my girly crap

Thanks. I agree, its definately more difficult making stuff for blokes! My boyfriend has told me under no uncertain terms that if I ever make him anything at all, he is leaving me! Needless to say Im currently in the process of finding a pattern to make something especially for him. :D:D

I threatened to make my DS (ages 15) a school bag, he was mortified, we agreed that I would buy him a black satchel from the army surplus store (about £5) and I sewed a Weylan Industries Patch on (from the film Aliens) and he is over the moon with it.
All his mates love it and and want one.
