The Nancy Bag

I decided to make shopping bags this year for presents.

A trip to the oppie gleaned a fabulous piece of appliqué and a rat through my fabric cupboard produced  a brightly coloured bag.

     

Easy peasie with a round base.

South Australia has a no plastic bag policy, well sort of you can buy them at the supermarket but one of these is far more fun. 

This one was for Nancy.

Tea Pots

Just waiting to be grouted.

Ducks

Sadly the oppies just don't seem to be like they used to, treasure is very sparse these days.

Ducks was all I could find this week.

Pretty Plates

How beautiful are these.

Garden

The poor garden has been left to it's own devices for far too long over winter so I tidied up a few corners on the weekend.

   

WIP

Finally I'm back in the shed after having spent a couple of weekends sorting out and "tidying up",  I'm not very good at tidy!

This was a project I started a couple of months ago before it got too cold.

Thank goodness for friends not so sure about the last one.

Happy Sunday

Friends

A couple of weekends ago I got together with my two besties for a weekend of laughter and sewing.

Girls weekends make the world go around!

We drafted patterns and created jumpers, warp tops, skirts and pants. 

My pants pattern needs to go back to the drawing board.

Although not finished this is my favourite piece, a snugly wrap top.

Thanks for a great weekend, I'm ready for the next one.
