Sew What?!

OK, following on from my last post, I've decided to unleash some of my sewing energy. When I'm next in town I'm going to have a rummage in the offcuts box in my local fabric shop to find something fairly inexpensive in case something goes wrong - then I'm going to rock and roll!

I haven't decided entirely what I'm going to make yet, since I'm kind of a novice and this will be all hand-sewn. It's currently between an apron or a diaper bag - sounds ambitious, but I'm currently out of full-time work, so it's not like I have anything better to do. I have patterns, needles, and thread, all I need now is something to actually sew...

So that's the plan. I want to see if I have any talent, or if my hand-sewing puts me off all sewing for life, before I invest in a machine. In school, I became infamous for breaking needles and just generally being afraid of the sewing machines, so we'll see how well this goes!

Wish me luck!

I've Got An Urge!

Lately, all I can think about is sewing. I'm not known for my Mad Sewing Skillz. I don't own a sewing machine. But all I really want to spend my time doing right now is sewing.

I want to make dresses, and stuffed animals, and puppets, and little tool belts or aprons for children. I want to make pillow covers and tote bags and hairbands.

How can I get rid of this? And what the heck is causing it?!



...I don't sew!

From The Depths

I finally got round to making the catalog, and honestly, I wish I'd done it sooner because I found lots of designs for onesies that I had completely forgotten about!

Like this one, also available in blue and green hues:



Or maybe this one:



Or even these ones:



Please let me know what you think!

New Design!

What do you think? I want to actually put this on a shirt for myself, I think it's kind of cool-looking!



Are you feeling it? Let me know!
