Man shirt by Michal

This shirt has just been finished by my pupil Michal - amazingly this is the first bit of sewing she has ever done and look at it, perfection, wow is all I can say!

Christmas scraps stocking

I still think Christmas is a bit far away but could not resist starting to make quilted stockings out of my embarassingly large basket of scraps. Rather enjoy remembering what they where used for - a bit of left over pyjama, a summer dress and baby bonnet fabric. Its pretty basic quilting - machine stitching the layers, binding the two foot shapes together and adding an appliqued initial but v satisfying rainy day project.
