I hope it's ok to post this here but most involve sewing so I thought it would be the best place



Hello, I wondered if any of the lovely crafters on here might be able to help me please?

I'm publishing a list of wishes for my 30 birthday of things I would like to do but which I'm too ill to do myself. Some of these things are craft related and I wondered if anyone could help please? You don't need to be good or highly skilled


I'm looking for:

-Any kind of handmade blanket or quilt for bedbound people to curl up with and to feel that someone cares when ever they look at their blanket http://my30wishes.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/wish-20-makesewknitcrochet-blanket-for.html
-handmade twiddlemuff or twiddle apron for people with dementia http://my30wishes.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/wish-15-makesew-i-spy-bags-or-twiddle.html
-I spy bags for seriously ill children (these are normally sewn but there's a pattern for a no sew one) http://my30wishes.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/wish-15-makesew-i-spy-bags-or-twiddle.html

I have another wish for people to donate an item (details on the link) for hospital patients to craft with or to donate some time to do an activity at a day centre/hospital/nursing home (the hospital I spend time in used to have lots of volunteers who did craft activities with patients but sadly all but one left, it really gave you something to look forward to and a break from hospital life, plus good physio/rehab) http://my30wishes.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/wish-8-donate-activity-item-or-time-to.html

Wow, they are amazing, I love them. How long did they take to make?

Vicky-Louise. I don't post on this thread but like to lurk as I love sewing. I would love to be able to join in and will head over to your blog to take a look.

Back to lurking.

I'm not sure as they were a pick up and put down project. They weren't quick tho!

currently making 3 18th century petite coats, a crinoline, busle and bodice for college as well as working as a costume assistant! think i'v got sewers block! iv been putting off quilting one the skirts.....just dyed 6 metres of fabric! yep that's how this 27 year old rolls on a saturday! (had to give up a school reunion just to get it done)

pennib

That sounds most interesting dory22. Wow, that must be a lot of work. Have you a pattern or instructions or making it up as you go along? 6 metres of fabric dyed, now that's a lorra material! I do hope you post a photo when you've finally finished them.

if i ever get it done then yes i will post a photo, think i'm going to not do the crolin its optional and iv barely got time to do the petite coats.

it so hard t sew in my house iv not really got anywhere to sew it, my parents wont leave me alone when i'm trying to making it i get nothing but judgemental comments and when am i left alone the cat plays with the fraying material! :mad: feels like its never ending.

yes drew a pattern up in college we were give the measurements and had to draw it out, but we're doing a scaled down version. not doing it by sight! god no i'm not that skilled yet. lol

I'm still here! Just taking a break from sewing due to my aching joints.
Might try a refashion project this week if I have the energy and time.
