Oh my weekend

first up after getting sorted from the AQC was to relax, then get sorted.....
Here I managed to draw out my pattern for a travelling stitchery. Something I could grab and pack for my trips away.
Yes, I did get something stitched this Friday for... FNSI

I have been away for the weekend visiting my brother. We had a great time catching up. It has been a hard few weeks so a quiet night together was good. No sewing though... I was too tired.

BUT.

I got home Sunday and managed a little sewing time. Not much though..

So here is my link up for Slow stitching Sunday....

A little sewing room stitchery

I found this little stitchery gift my mum had given me. So I sat and did it.

It is so cute. Will it be a gift for someone or put on the wall  in my workroom.

22" binding sewn....

Don't forget Friday Night Sew In this week

Another project on the go

I am teaching a group of ladies how to make a folder cover.

I have prepared all the pieces so they can see what to get ready for the next meeting. This is when we will finish the project.

You can use anything for the front. A stitchery, orphan block, scraps or just a patterned fabric.

The measurements of block / stitchery & folder will depend on what size to cut the fabrics. 

I am making this for a special friend. She made this stitchery for a close friend of hers who was too sick to put it to good use & has since passed away. When going through her sewing things she came across it again. So I thought I would make it into something special for her too keep.

It was then easy to work out the colours to match.

The inside pockets are ready to be sewn.

The strap, binding, buttons & elastic are here too.

I am linking up with WIP WEDNESDAY for this one.
