I really, really love patchwork!
You know, years ago a friend suggested I try patchwork as she knew how much I loved sewing… Back then, my thoughts on patchwork were much the same as knitting – total waste of time. A skirt should take an hour or two, not 5-10, right? All those fiddly bits of fabric? Forget it!! :) [...]

Patchwork totes
Maisie’s school bag met a sad, and unwelcome end – all because of a forgotten-about Easter boiled egg…. Hmmmm… LOL So rather than waste money on a crap made-in-China bag, I decided to make one for her… it’s so pretty and she absolutely loves it – she HUGGED it when I showed it to her. [...]

A book bag for me
I had so much fun making the book bags for Daisy! While I waited to hear from her regarding the straps, I decided to make one for myself. Now that i know what I’m doing, they come together really quickly. It’s a good brain challenge, too! :)
