The Sewing Room (part 2)

Florenceem

I have finished all 24 padded hangers for Christmas presents. I have 2
boxes of made pressies stored upstairs now.

Where are all the sewers?
Made a Zip Up Pouch - first time I have tried doing tabs on the zip ends. This is a present for DGD.
I used a linen type fabric from my stash and LO Laura A scraps. The back is plain.

Good morning hope your all well, but if you are feeling under the weather hugs to you.

Floreceme. Very nice love the details.

Well recovered the dummy purchased of e *** am quite pleased with the results, it's not perfect but clean and useable. My friend measured me yesterday so that I can adjust it to be me (poor thing) no excuse not to get started. Ordered a vintage pattern and am waiting for that to come now.

Well time to get started dentists and hairdressers this morning
Have a good day

Good luck with the dressmakine via the dummy. I love mine and cant imagine how on earth I managed without it. Mine came from Freecycle xx

I would love a dressmakers dummy.
Finished some sewing.
Mr F found a pair of Diesel jeans when he was out walking our dog.
Someone had dumped them with a piece cut out of the leg part. I washed and
pressed them then cut them up.
Finished making a raggy rag bag - used the jeans.
The largest piece of fabric needed to make the bag is 9 inch square. Didn't
have quite enough fabric so put lining material in the top side gusset. Took
the finished bag outside to brush the raggy rag edges - makes lots of mess.
Size of bag is - 16 x 14 x 4 1/2 inches. This is a Christmas present for
DDIL.
I am going to make myself one of these bags for when I visit a show - nice
size to carry and the straps are long enough for on shoulder.
I used vintage trims and buttons to embellish the bag.
Photos in next post.

I was hoping for some advice please. I have been looking for a jelly roll for my next project. I came across Secret Garden Quilting (SecretGardenQuilting.co.uk) They have Jelly Rolls for £28.50 which looks good value. Does anyone have any experience ordering from this site? Thank you
