I’m at Jackie’s for a lovely long weekend. Sewing has been a bit slow but chat and catchup and cuppas has more than filled any gaps!!!
We made cork boxy pouches
We made a leather zippy pouch and coin purse
We made a blocking octagon so these yummy crocheted octies can be blocked before being joined
And we’ve worked out a way to join these La Passigalia cogs
Jackie had made a knitting project bag (from Attic 24) but it stretched as stuff was added. We folded a length of fabric into four, then drew around the bag also folded in 4 and ended up with this shape. We’ve stitched into a lining shape and are now joining it to the bag.
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.
Wow! Great stitching there you two!

Reminded of this song.

La Passigalia cogs - love how you decided to join them up.
OOoOooo I haven't sewn with cork yet - I haven't seen it anywhere locally (not that I get to a lot of quilt stores!), and it's expensive to order. I was just looking at the Joanns website (we're headed Stateside for a long weekend road trip) and I noticed that they have a cotton print that LOOKS like cork. I put it on my shopping list! It's probably the closest I'll get to that type of fabric, until the price goes down and it gets more widely available :D
