Sew Much Fabric, Sew Little Time

I’ve finally got all my sewing bits and bobs sorted. Been wanting to get a drawer system like this for an age, and I’ve finally got one. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLR2IkBAkDh/?igshid=gogtah9mmbb

I have lots of yarn scraps, so I’ve started a Tunisian crochet blanket, doing tiny 4x4 squares in diagonal rows. It’ll be super colourful, and an excellent picnic blanket at the end. #tunisiancrochet #crochetblanket https://www.instagram.com/p/CK9R_Cpgv3Q/?igshid=f66mys1uz9r7

Thank you to my sister for this beautiful throw she bought me as a late Christmas present, featuring Van Gogh’s The Starry Night. #thekawaiislothuk #vincentvangogh #vangogh #thestarrynight https://www.instagram.com/p/CKPCoeYAE5p/?igshid=1m008anigrpbt

Forgot to add a picture of all last year’s Christmas presents wrapped in my reusable fabric wrap. I think they look pretty. #reusable #wrapping https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ054GVAZZd/?igshid=15k4wm8lmx1fc

Been busy making Christmas things, one of them being fabric wrapping. Purely fabric and ribbon. No tape involved. Considering making to sell. #fabwrap #fabricwrapping #reusable #ecofriendly https://www.instagram.com/p/CHSnmrFAy_a/?igshid=1wy4ywr74vq7m

Finished the Christmas quilt. Really pleased with it. Much larger than I imagined, but at least it won’t be outgrown. #christmasquilt #evamelhuish #lewisandirene #makower #nutexfabrics #modafabrics https://www.instagram.com/p/CGIb00XgkWc/?igshid=5by7xuag80ou

Just finished the jumbo stocking from Lewis and Irene in collaboration with Eva Melhuish. A really gorgeous stocking print. I added some quilting, french knots and sequins for a little extra texture. #lewisandirene #evamelhuish #stockings https://www.instagram.com/p/CFmuzMiAoBG/?igshid=uccsh9z0gmj0

All the pieces cut out and ready for sewing. #patchwork #quilting #evamelhuish https://www.instagram.com/p/CFIZA4Ug1UJ/?igshid=1uuz74f03y51g

A basic design for my next quilt, which despite the colours will be a Christmas quilt, single bed sized. I’ll be using some gorgeous fabrics, one being the panel from Lewis and Irene, designed and illustrated by Eva Melhuish. #quilting #patchwork #evamelhuish #lewisandirenefabrics https://www.instagram.com/p/CE4_9XOgzUE/?igshid=uleh9pslh4g4

The first 16 squares of the 25 Years and Counting CAL. I think I’ll start joining them now... but not as I’ve shown them here. I have a plan in place. #interlockingcrochet #interlockingcrochetcal #25yearsandcountingcal https://www.instagram.com/p/CEguTDlgBvt/?igshid=1dawprnbx79oa

An Amish Puzzle Ball I finished crocheting at the weekend. Pattern courtesy of lookatwhatimade.net. Lots of parts to it, but easy to make. #amishpuzzleball https://www.instagram.com/p/CD_13i-gtmW/?igshid=1qudg4cbafci1
