As you will know I have been wanting to start a sewing project for ages but keep getting distracted by yarn but at last I have started.
I bought
Helen Philips book a few weeks ago and really wanted to make a house cushion but I have decided to start with something smaller that I can sew by hand........I have chosen this lovely garland as my first project.

I had fun getting my fabric stash out and sorting out the different prints that I would use.

 |
| this is the fabric I have decided on............. |

ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous and so inspirational! I have made something similar for a pin cushion but never thought for a moment that they could be used in a garland - genius. I would love to make some for my niece! Love Kate (from greedy for colour) xxx.
ReplyDeleteThey're really sweet :)
ReplyDeleteYou've been so busy! I've enjoyed having a catch up through all your posts. Is there no end to your talents?! I like the look of that garland very much. My fabric stash is getting out of hand and I need to do something about it - these would help! x
