Sewing machine cover

Making a cover for my sewing machine has been on my 'to do' list for a very long time and the other day I was finally able to cross it off!
 
These are my favourite colours and I love that apple print so much. A quick and easy little projectto satisfy the sewing urge.

Vintage sheet spring throw, Ta-Daah!

Like many of you, I've been collecting vintage sheet odds and ends for a while now... I always had a little patchwork throw in mind to showcase all the lovely purples and blues. But me being a bit lazy when it comes to sewing big projects, I just joined the patchwork top to a fleece blanket with some binding, all done by machine, no hand stitching here! I'm happy with the result, although don't look too close at the corners!
 The weather was warm today, Spring is in the air and what a perfect time to finish this floral beauty!


I love checking out other vintage sheet projects too, so please send me links if you have seen any cool creations lately ( or have you some of your own?)

Patchwork Recipe Folder

It was a good friends birthday over the weekend and since she is quite into her baking, I made her a patchwork folder to store all her recipes in. The floral fabric is a vintage sheet and I added a few bits of orange fabric that I bought the other day. I'm not that into orange but I wanted to brighten up my fabric stash for future projects, but I have to admit that it's kind of growing on me...but in moderation of course!



A title page just so you know what it's for haha.
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend, the weather today was so nice that I sat outside in the sunshine and did some crochet, bliss

Foxy!

Awhile ago in Frankie magazine there was a feature taken from Pip Lincolne's book "Sew la tea do" on how to make a fox quilt. Ever since then I have been wanting to give it a go.

Here it is! I decided to just make a fox cushion cover as I didn't really want a big fox quilt at this stage. I think I will make more and also possibly make a cat too!
