The Sewing Room

Ok drum roll please.... I think i have managed to upload my first tutorial in a pdf format onto a post on my blog. I have done it through a website called Scribd.com and it takes two minutes. Its free to register and use the site if anyone wants to use it for uploading documents for others to see. Could someone check if they can read it on my blog ok? i can see it and print it off etc but i am registered and logged into scribd so not sure if others can x

Does anyone have any ideas for use of t shirt material. OH has had a major clearout. Only thing I can think of is pj bottoms for DS which is fine as they are always useful.

Hi everyone
At long last I have had some time to sew
I made another skirt for my GD
I got 2 beautiful duvet covers and 4 pillow cases from the CS so I used a pillowcase to make this as the fabric is so summery

I also finished 2 of the 3 patchwork cushions to match my quilt, it makes my dull beige sofa a lot brighter

This is the front (I had to make a pad as always I get carried away and make them a different sizes :rotfl:)

The backs

Love the patchwork there Hart - very dramatic colours.

I finally had the time to tinker with my new pattern.....(pics elsewhere) Very pleased with the results and can see a whole army of kitties being made for christmas now!

This week I shall aim to learn how to put a zip in something - I've never tried and it's about time I did.

Tina, your pdf works great (ive already tried it!)
Hart, loving your stuff (as usual!)
Pooky, this tutorial is great for lined zips.

Thanks guys for checking it was working for me.

Pootle your bag is great do you have any instructions as i think my neice would love one of those.

Hart those cushions are stunning welldone

Pooky zips are a doodle i only tried my first about a month ago but have done loads since (including in the passport holder below) so you will be fine. I'm off to look at your kitty!


Here are a few of my makes this week (more pics on my blog).

Pooky, The kitty is fantastic! Your fabric looks a lot nicer than they've used on the pattern.
