Sewing While Raining!

The last week mum has been at home with the idea of doing some gardening and outsite jobs...that hasn't happened so we've been sewing.  Jelle made a surprise visit up for a few days last week too!

Again that Sister-in-law Sonnie saw this pattern and I just loved it....not all the time when I was attempting to make it up though mind you!  In the end it all turned out and I'm pretty impressed with the finished product!

Sewing Retreat with Jelle!

Hello - yes I'm still alive and making things and photographing them but not getting them to my blog quickly or at all like I should be!!!  So I'll start with last weeks effort:

Jelle came up on Sunday arvo for a few days just us sewing, foot to floor going for it!  Although our intentions were good we did have a few hic-cups!!  Our first one was for the better - we travelled up to Iddy Biddy Patchwork Shop at Proserpine for a look see and show & tell - ( www.iddybiddydesigns.com ) they have a huge range of fabrics and great bunch of ladies that go there!  Jelle took up some quick & easy project ideas for their get togethers too.  Back home, we stopped at Needleworx Mackay for a short while as we were headed to Sarina doctor for Lacey.  All in all we had a great day out and got some awesome stuff for projects to come.  Jelle wanted to have a go at 'Confetti'....so off we go designing our landscape pictures and we're into it!!  Jelle is wanting to hand on her new found 'expertise' to her ladies back at Wowan!  Hope you enjoy our projects as we did making them!

Jelle had a table throw made out of the new rectangle packs you can by, I like the quick & easy idea so I made these few.  I got this fabric from Needleworx.

I bought this as a Layer Cake at Iddy Biddy!!

Sewing with Mum

While mum was here we did get a few sewing projects done!  I started the port for Lacey at Jelles. 

Raspberry Ripple Bag

Raspberry Ripple Bag pattern was sent to me from mum (thanks mum!!) - it is a Melley & Me pattern.  I made it with fabrics purchased from Lynjelle Crafts.  I can't wait to try it using other colours now!!!
