Sadly I don't knit, thank goodness really as I have't time for all the things I do like to do.
Have cleaned up my craft space but moved on to decorating DD's bedroom. Took me a morning to remove all the posters & junk. Just a lick of paint, before she plasters it with Bieber posters again.0 -
Loving the Car Boot Sewing Boxes, I want a new sewing box, but everything in the shops just seems too small!

My mum has a lovely sewing box table - its a square box on legs about 2ft square and 18" deep and has a round hinged top. It's really beautiful and I keep dropping hints about how nice it would look in my house but it's not working!Oh dear, here we go again.0 -
Just a couple of pictures of what I made last week
The one on the left is made from remnants of the material I used for a dress and the other our my sons pj's.
and the cake I made for a friend.
I love your bags Dizzy.
I just love the door stops and want to make one for my daughter to match her room decor (beatrix potter). Can you point me in teh direction of a pattern? I'm relatively new to sewing and just got my first machine. I'm slowly graduating from cushion covers!r.mac, you are so wise and wonderful, that post was lovely and so insightful!0 -
Well I've been busy knitting for my Grandson, due in October.
Daughter likes traditional things, so wanted mittens on a string.
But after looking at all your fantastic makes, I'm itching to sew again.
I'm not really a knitter and have just taught myself, but love sewing more I think.
Pooky - is that kitty from the pattern you mentioned buying from ebay?
Loads of my family would love one as a gift, just a shame the pattern is so expensive. Could you post details agin so that I can look out for it please?
Also loving the doorstops.Jack of all trades ... Master of none

R.Mac the door stops are from a book called 'Sewing in no time' but I did change them slightly.
But I did find this:
http://lucyjanegallery.blogspot.com/2010/04/making-of-doorstop.html, it is loaded with pictures. I didn't use velcro though, just had the 6
sides all the same and left a gap on one seam for turning. Inside on one of the doorstops I had some cardboard top and bottom, some stuffing out of
a cushion and a small bag of gravel from the garden for the weight. Rice is too expensive where I live lol.
