(Yes, the pouch isn't finished . . . some traditions are good to keep!)
We made some blue whale pouches for a couple of my cousins and an Aunt - its a bit of a long story - I won't bore you but I think they will love the pouches!
Lining in red as there is a Norwegian link!
We made some magic zip pouches (two sections and each side has a zip into a separate pocket)
Yesterday's eco dying . . . well lets say we wont bother with that again!
We tried silver spoon stamping . . . with a LOT of brute force (and probably a fair amount of ignorance!) we got one letter done. Apparently I bought silver plated steel spoons, not silver spoons!!!
We had a go at zippy key rings - and adding numerous zipper pulls for fun
We used some pretty lacy zips
(From these instructions)
Then finally, in the last two hours we made what are probably my favourite creations: a sewing holdall which rolls up
It's the most productive I've been in ages. Roll on our next 'retreat' !!
ReplyDeleteI don`t know anyone like you and Jackie that cram so much into a gew days lots of lovely makes here, what is the connection with red and Norway? Loving the pyramids have done egg shaped ones years ago and the sewing holder is a great project. Really must go some zip pouches zips are on my shopping list for when I next go to the market
ReplyDeleteIf you can squeeze this much sewing out of a visit with Jackie, then I need to do better at squeezing.
ReplyDeleteA very productive time was had by all I'd say Benta :)
ReplyDeleteProductive time indeed! I think my favourite finish would be the Magic Pouches - and I think I have that print downstairs, but in a different colour (pinkish) :)
ReplyDeleteCongratualtions, fantastic meeting and great team.It`s hard to pick my best favourite, I jump from one to another .
ReplyDeleteHave a fun week.
