The one where I finally did some sewing!

School finished yesterday! And not just for the summer in my case, but forever! I have resigned- I felt it was better for the school that I left at the end of a year, and could leave everything ready for my replacement, rather than either giving notice during the hols and not going back or going back for a few days or weeks in September and leaving things half done.

The parents and staff were very kind - I got lots of lovely cards and gifts! And today I got to sew!

This pile of HSTs stitched by the ladies at church

Have been stitched into strips

 

And this tshirt has been rescued from a charity shop to be made into a bag

 

Tomorrow? More of the same!!!!

  1. enjoy your retirement, it was the best thing I ever did, well I was made redundant 5 months before I was 60.
    The pink HSTs look lovely laid out and the tee shirt is so colourful, plenty of time now for stitching. Are you off to FOQ next month?
