While visiting my brother in Humpty Doo, NT I came across this little sewing shop.
Just Stitchin.
Louise said she held a sit n sew on Friday mornings. 10:30-1:30. I went along and joined in.
I took along my sashiko to work on but left my thread in the caravan. Mmmmmm.
Off to buy some fabric so I had something to work on. I bought this pack of beautiful Tilda fabrics. I decided to make a little Lawanda piece which later can be made into a pouch.
Jean, from Berri Springs, was making some placemats for her grandchildren. She was a beginner sewer and this was her first project. She had machine quilted these as well.
Chris, from Brisbane, was staying with her son while her husband was recovering from a hip replacement.
She bought a little pattern to make a needle case, scissor keep and a bag to put them in.
Louise kept all her little Tilda scraps and put them on to a backing. Stitched them with lines very close together with her machine. It looks like a BORO piece.
She cuts these strips into panels and uses them in little pouches and bags.
They are very cute. I love the little zip tag too. It’s like a thread bunny/thread scrap.
This is where my piece ended up at the end of my sewing morning.

What a lovely array of work the ladies are doing Jo. Your piece is very pretty fabrics & I look forward to seeing it all finished. xx
The ladies are working on lovely projects Jo, yours looks wonderful too, look forward to seeing your progress.
A nice way to spend a morning.
What a nice variety of projects. So annoying when you leave something vital at home but you made a good start on your Kawandi piece. Nice to meet some new stitchers too. xx
What a great way to stitch while you were away. Meeting all the people there is a real bonus.
A fun spontaneous thing to do. And it's a shame you left your thread so you had to buy new fabric!!
