Christmas Presents Continued...

I have managed to finish the second set of cushions and an apron (woohoo!) so I'm feeling a little more relaxed now! Although it was a late night session to get it all finished.

No patterns for the above as I just made it up as I went along, pictures as below though.

Just wanted to post links to the tutorials I have used for the Christmas presents:

Clutch bags: http://www.bhg.com/crafts/sewing/accessories/clutch-purse-with-antique-pin-closure/

Gathered front purse: http://www.noodle-head.com/2010/04/gathered-clutch-tutorial.html

Hourglass pillow: http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/pdfs/HourglassPillowFreePattern.pdf

The tutorials/instructions for these were all super easy to follow and gave lovely results!

Thanks to those who made them.

Christmas Presents!

This year I thought I had everything planned out; I made a list, had the fabric ready, and yet I am still sewing like crazy to be finished for Christmas!

I've made purses, handbags and cushions so far...still more cushions, an apron, a knitting needle holder and another bag to make. Hmm, may not have enough time after all.

I will post pictures of the gifts made so far, in case it inspires anyone, im new to all of this so no infringement on others work/patterns is intended.

Let me know how your presents are coming along :-)

First Post

Welcome to my first blog!

Im looking forward to getting started and sharing my journey with anybody who wants to read it.

I've been encouraged to start a blog after seeing what others have put together and shared with the world, hopefully I can be as interesting.

I'm a keen sewer and vegetable gardener so in all likelihood this blog will house a bit of both :-)

Enjoy!!
