a sewing day

Well, I like to think of it as a sewing day but maybe 'sewing prep' would be a more accurate description? You see, in these days of digital (apparent) helpfulness, patterns are downloaded, as you can see...

 Then they are pieced together...

 Then taped together...

 Then traced...

 Then the fabric can be cut out...

 Then - finally! - you get somewhere near the sewing machine!

 Some lovely stitching takes place...

Then methinks it's time for a cuppa!

Day 226

Ta-dah! Another Great British Sewing Bee project completed. A silk-lined tie cushion. Hurrah!

Day 198

 Today I made a Laundry Bag; here's the ruffled up drawstring section.

Day 163

Hurrah, my throw is finished!
