THE SORTING......

...... of the sewing room is going slowly.. because I keep getting DISTRACTED!!! I find things and have a little dream about how to use them ... or I find "stuff" and have to sort that as well xx lol x Good job I am not in a hurry x

An example of this is ... I found a bag with 2 charm square packs and some backing fabric .. NOW I have no idea where they came from! They are not the sort of thing I would buy .. and if I did for some reason .. that reason and the buying have completely flown away!! I am wondering if I was given them?.. who knows!!

ANYWAY ... I decided to make them into a simple cot quilt ... there are always requests for them .. so now I am ahead of the game ....

 

I just need to sew in some ends and the binding down .. and Im good to go x AND YES that is a shadow!! The rain visited this am .. but now the sun has decided to come and pay us a visit xx

Talking of sewing ends in...! Sally wanted a jumper for baby with STRIPES ... I had forgotten what it is like to sew ALL those ends in....

 

never mind xx I like the pattern so will probably do it again ... the stripes mmm... will let you know xx This is the 6-12 months size so maybe if the stripes were wider....... well I made a hat and it was A BIT less traumatic ....

 

Have a good weekend

Well done there. I think some mystery person pops things in our cupboards when we are not looking. I too have found the odd fabric and thought to myself I have no idea where that came from.
If you just do narrow stripes in your knitting and only 2 colours the are is far less ends as the wool can be just looped up the side.
I too am working on a stripy jersey for expected new family member. I'll post a photo soon.
