Evening friends and followers. I had a day playing indoors today with the sewing machine. On Friday at sewing class I made a round storage thingy for my bathroom to hold spare toilet rolls. I chose quite a vintage looking material to blend in with my colour scheme.
The house I live in was new 10 years ago and like many modern houses lacks the characture of older houses. As I have grown older I’m drawn more and more to quirky looking homes. We do plan to move one day but for the moment our home suits us. However, I have given myself the task to take each room as a project and fill it will homemade furnishings and art. ( the reason for my sewing classing).
The bag was finished at class but I wanted to add some more to it so here are before and after pictures.
This was before
And then after
And here it is in place.
Once I’d finished this, I made a peg bag for my daughter
I was quite pleased with this as it is lined as well.
I then spent some tidying a bit of the garden and took more photos.
Then I made a little storage roll for crochet hooks.
I love I now have somewhere to keep them all together neatly and I even left some room incase I get more.
I then finished another little storage box that was started at class.
And last I made a memo board with some pockets.
This is an update as I forgot to add there. Last week at sewing club we made pjs. The ones I made my pattern from were stretchy material but the material chose wasn’t. Result, they were too small ( I’ll grow into them ) in the week I cut another pair larger. Today I finished them.
I hope you enjoyed your visit take care. I’d love to read your comments
