I had a kneeling pad that was falling to bits. I reused the filling/added some extra and sewed a new inner. I made two removable covers for the kneeling pad as it will get grubby on the floor. I have a mucky Mr F and a large dog.

Loving all the beautiful makes
Florenceem Your covers for your various pieces of equipment are fabulous - such a great idea. Love the dressmaker dummy pincushion - so appropriate
crafty crafty If i were you I would update my list with the things actually completed.
I decided not to do a list for this challenge as I knew I would change my mind and my priorities throughout the year.
I have completed project number 11 - only small but really enjoyed stitching it and everything (pattern, threads and fabric) came out of my stash :money:
