so cosy

Me and my beautiful daughter created together our first tea cosy, we had fun, I even got my finger snipped too, but I should of moved my finger...oooppppssss. I was very proud of my little lady cause she did a line with the sewing machine by herself. It was nice that we worked together as a team to make this creation. When my mum saw it keeping my teapot warm I said to my mum you like it? she said "its nice", then it clicked she said "you made that"? I was like yes, she said "that is really good". When I look at it while boiling the kettle, Im doing a little dance saying we made that...... woop woop. Madam is already planning our next project, wonder if we have a budding dressmaker? I am one proud mum.



coasting about :-)

Well after getting my Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Sewing: 150 Inspired Projects from A-Z through the door I was inspired. I noticed she had a page on making coasters, and I thought with the small bundle of fabric I got I could have a practice on the sewing machine. I can sew straight which was a relief cause I can go on to other projects that I have in mind. I ended up making my own design up, had odd ends of ribbons and used that, then I decided I would make it reversible. so I now have a nice tea coaster to put my mug of tea on. I can look at it and I feel humble cause I did that, it sure is a confidence booster knowing that I designed that. Here are the photos not perfect but something I am chuffed with.
