A few days ago I showed a tiny section of a sewing secret
- now I can show you the rest!
Following on from teaching craft / mug caddies at a class, I realised that this idea wasn't limited to mug size.
I made one from a big coffee canister
and then made an even bigger one from a tall biscuit tin - perfect for knitting needles and ball or two of wool, I hope!
By the time this post is published (I've scheduled it), Jackie will have received it - and hopefully liked it!
I also made her a pincushion & thread thingy:
Both of the pincushions were based on this one I saw at my friend Heather's house
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Such a beautiful projects.The pincushions cought my eyes.Have a fun day!
