Overseas Orders

I've been asked many times now if I sell my patterns overseas, and the answer is 'Yes I do'.

Simply go to my on-line store , add the items you wish to purchase to the shopping cart and select your country. The total amount owing does not include postage and handling charges. These charges will be calculated manually off-line and invoiced separately through PayPal.

If you have tried this in the past it may not have worked. I've made some changes today and think it should work now. I would test it if I could but the progam won't let me buy something from myself! If you experience any problems please do not hesitate to contact me.

a little christmas sewing

After the last class I came home and started doodling. It wasn't long before I was cutting out felt and fabric, adding a few stitches and thinking this year's Christmas presents. Simple and quick - just the sort of thing I love to make. 

Now I could hardly finish them off at Friday Sewing and I couldn't just sit there with nothing to do, so I made the Stitched Heart from the Festive Trinkets pattern.

I prepared it at home, stitched the front at sewing and finished it off in front of the TV. This is for a non sewing friend, who still has some things I made for her many years ago (things that make me blush when I look at them).

It would make a charming addition to your own collection of decorations or a special friends.

Tempted - you can purchase the kit for the Stitched Heart here.

Rusty Bell Runner Kit

It was exactly two months to Christmas yesterday. I knew it was getting closer but it wasn't supposed to be that close!

That's why this table runner could be just the thing to make if you're running a little short on time.
Started last Thursday, I did a little bit here and there on it over the weekend and finished it Monday morning. Not having made one in a while, I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it came together.

You can purchase the kit for the Rusty Bell Runner here. The kit includes the fabrics for the top, back & tongues, iron-on-pellon and rusty bells.

a new look for an old favourite

For sometime now I've been wanting to try out one of my earlier patterns, Christmas Trimmings, in the new felts I have. I'd originally thought I would remake them in similar colours, but it didn't work out that way.

It was purely by chance I decided to make the first bauble with the straw coloured felt and it just flowed from there. This is such a pretty and fresh look compared to the more traditional colours I originally used. 

 
 
 I'd also forgotten just how easy and nice they were to make. 

I even stitched a couple while listening to the AFL grand final on Saturday. It helped relieve some of the tension I was feeling as the lead kept changing. A great game with the final score not reflecting how close it was for the first three quarters. The final quarter was a joy to watch especially if you are a Cats supporter like me!  

You'll find the kit for the Tree Topper Bird and 6 Baubles in these pretty colours on my website.
