I have been up-cycling in the school holidays. My daughter's room needed an update so we used the furniture she had to create something new, gave things a lick of paint and made bunting using fabrics i had laying around. Both Ellie and me are really pleased with the results.
I am still practicing using my embroidery foot on the sewing machine. I want to be able to write words but i need more practice as i can only write letters that are bigger than the size of my hand at the moment. Practice makes perfect! Will keep going. My present project is coat hanger covers. I do not want to buy wooden coat hangers as make do and mend is my motto not buy everything new so i have been using kiddies' plastic coat hangers. Have made a prototype to find the best designs and any problem areas. Think i like the flat designs best not the ruffled ones. Have been googling images to find a design i like. A friend is having a baby soon and thought i might make her some with a couple of bibs that i have a pattern for. Wish me luck!
