Dusting off the sewing machine


Sash and I had a wonderful time at a raw edge applique class run by the amazing Kellie Wulfsohn last month - I absolutely love her designs. I've always been terrified of applique, but was inspired to take the class so I could make the stunning Peak Hour quilt for Sam. Alas, when I showed it to him on her website, he declared that he'd much rather have 'the flower one'! After a bit of persuasion, I made him this t-shirt using one of the Peak Hour designs, and he loves it! I may have to make him a flower cushion in the meantime, but I'm sure I'll be making the quilt before too long. I have also made a half-arsed attempt at starting a winter pinafore dress for myself, but made a mistake on the front facing and can't be bothered unpicking it. Not to worry, exam season is coming up and I'll be scrounging around for EVERY excuse to procrastinate rather than study, so expect to see lots of finished sewing projects in the next month or so!

And finally, a quick photo of my littlest boy, just because he's so gorgeous I could eat him.




Bye!
