    maria Great to see Let's Sew finished - "life" has been getting in the way of me stitching my version - I haven't picked up a needle for 2 days and am getting withdrawal symptons

    Love what you're all doing. Can I join too please? Not sure what my projects will be but have a few things to start with now I've read through this thread. :D

    1. Make cushion or toy from grandson's baby clothes
    2. Ditto from grandaughter's outgrown clothes
    3. Make candles in unusual but lovely holders
    4. Crochet a flower brooch for me (assuming I learn to crochet)
    5. Sew a very glamorous coat for daughter's chihuahua
    6.


    Huge thanks to Ailsb and Verityemilia for the ideas for the first three! :T Will add more ASAP, probably from ideas on here.

    Verity, can you recommend any candle making directions? Is it very difficult?
    It's the most wonderful timeof the year :

  • just finished my first project a stripy crochet blanket. it has taken a while but im quite pleased with end result.

    think i may start on a crochet bag along with spending a bit more time on my cross stitch project that i had already started.

    yet to start on all my cards, i shall start to need them soon so must get on with them.
    You can if you think you can .
