I am sewing. I’m really pleased to be seeing. It’s a happy project, new to me – constructing a garment from a pattern. I am such a bad guide follower, which is why I don’t use patterns normally, but this experience may even see me buying a French curve.

lazy, lazy days.
it’s ok right? to not rush about, to just let everything unfurl and relax without clock watching all the time?
I may sew, I may bead, I may just have another cuppa.
These too, photos from iPhone hence that ‘special’ quality. In fact this whole post is from the iPhone. hope this makes me edgy and stuff.

I am unearthing this blog from underneath the crap it has been resting under for the last 11 months and no doubt to your undeniable joy, I will document all the sewing/chocolate consumption and other minutae of my life.
Maybe it’ll give me something to focus on.
But first….
a cushion
well it would be if i could link from flickr to wordpress, goddamn taking up my whole day trying to work this out.

I am not sure if wordpress works properly on my iPhone. or should I say from my iPhone.
facebook and Twitter and now tumblr have been taking my copious amounts of time. sewing has been done and posts have been written , but it seems they don’t post!
am cranking this old thing back up, lots of new ideas, commissions and proof I have a life need to be posted

I did do the Macmillan fair in Sept. No pictures but I made small zipped purses, small and medium buttoned purses, cotton shoppers, cotton duck totes, one handbag. It was very successful and my first foray into selling.
As a result of people seeing my stuff, a local lady contacted me with a commission – tiny PVC fabric gift bags that she could embellish, I got 96 out of the fabric she gave me! Can’t say that PVC is my favourite material, just glad I had a Teflon sewing foot. I also started making some little fabric flower brooches, some I will attach to bags, some will be solo! I plan to make enough items to put in my etsy shop but also plan a little ‘at home’ party late Nov to sell my bags to friends (who have requested this , I’m not that pushy!).
