Another cape for school, this time for the phonics hero.

Had a bit of an outdoor make, we turned some old scaffold planks into a raised bed edge, need to get that planted up.

Total makes so far this year 102

Wow, you are all barrelling through this challenge! I have repaired a skirt, finished a dress for me, and made a dress for a third world child, which is part of a project being run by our Women's Institute.

Well, today I repurposed something I repurposed last year. Some of you may remember I use a too small favourite t shirt to make a dress for my granddaughter.

The skirt was a bit faded and there were some pen marks on the tshirt but now it's a cushion cover!

I also fixed the hem on my trousers, machine darned DGD's leggings and stitched up worn bits under the arms of two of DH's jumpers (both right underarm only!).

Ace cushion!

I have made three more little dresses for girls in the third world.

Thank you, Pixie. Well done on getting the dresses done. Is It the "Dress A Girl Around the World" project you're sewing for?

PixieDust

Thank you I don't know to be honest, they just asked for volunteers at the WI

My plans for May are -

1. Wash beach glass collected at treasure beach - finished. Woo hoo al out away now.

2. Try to set up printer - carried over from April.

3. One junk journal - steampunk - underway. I'm apparantly taking it slow.
4. Cut up brown paper - IKEA completed May.

5. One sewing project - to be decided - I think it will be a skirt and I have chosen the fabric. Just need to get it started.

It's been a slow month so far. But I'm making a tiny bit of progress.

The most impressive thing I've achieved this month is I've kept my craft room tidy for the full month. It's a small achievement - but one I'm pleased with.

Glad everyone has been pootling on - xxxxxx

nimbo, the only time my craft room is tidy is when I'm not using it!

PixieDust

Well done Nimbo!

I wish I had a craft room!

I have made five, almost six, more little dresses
