weekend sewing......................

But first I had a visit from my Rivet Man ( a.k.a my hubby !)





He hung my wee shelf for my mini sewing machines and a hook for my lovely calendar a sweet friend gave me. This calendar comes with ALL the patterns of the quilts featured. Now my studio is looking more homely.



Now to the sewing bit...........................!



It's not finished but it has started, a cushion & my first go at using wool felt. The stem & leaves are from a tweed jacket I bought last year from the OP shop, the flower is from the wool felt I won from Julie!!!
But I did finish this!...............................

This is what I did have......yuk, yuk!


 The inside of the new one....................


I got the pattern from Cottage Flair it is one their own designs called " Snazzy Wallet". I did find the pattern was not very clear, photocopied pages and hand drawn pictures made it not very clear. But I got there in the end and now it can go in this........................

I hope you all had a restful weekend enjoying the things you love!

How many is TOO many????







Can a girl have too many miniature sewing machines?
I got home from work today to this parcel of cute sewing machines. I bought them off  Trademe
( for non New Zealand bloggers, that is like Ebay )
Twenty five of them for $32! Not bad, no where to put them?
This one is my favourite ...................



 
   wishing you all a happy weekend and I hope you get a chance to feel as content as these two.
I just found two more in the bottom of the box....so make that twenty seven.
