sewing project ........................

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.

doesn't it look beautiful..................
I  read the instructions carefully.............
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.............
I made my 4" template.......................
Cut out my circles.................
started to stitch.......................
Not quite perfect but I am getting the hang of it - I will update you on my progress................

If you have time pop over to see Kirsty for more ideas on "my creative space".

Talk soon x

  6. They 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.
