Well i have finished my first few sewing projects. I had a brandnew sewing machine that my hubby bought me just sat under the stairs for about 5 years so i am finally making some use!!

I have made 2 sock monkeys and a fabric file for my friend who has just set up her own business. I am also half way through a fabric dolls house:D. I'm still not great but i am proud of myself for what i have managed so far.

Piccies of my fabric file here:-

Wow some great crafts! I love all the piccies.

I have finished my 'quilt' - I use the term loosly but I think it may qualify as a VERY basic quilt! It's for my friend who has an 8 week old - though it would be great for her to lay on the floor.








I'll be giving it to her tomorrow - hope she likes it!

It doesn't look wonky to me it looks fab. If I had a baby I'd love to get something like that rather than baby clothes they soon grow out of.

It looks gorgeous Traceylou! I'd have loved something like that for my kids.

Well girls, I have just added some long lined curtains to my blog with a tutorial. It's not great and it's back to front, but hopefully some of you will have dusted down your machines and make some curtains. I refuse point blank to buy them now I know how to....
