Lobster Dress

I have finally got around to completing work on my lobster dress! I purchased this lovely navy retro looking material, with white lobsters a few months ago from Fabric Rehab, www.fabricrehab.co.uk with a view to making a skater style dress.

Telephone Pinboard

A cute telephone fabric pinboard, with a red ribbon crossover for effect. Just add pins and off you go.

Square Pincushions

Finally got round to making a square pincushion for a change! Using red and pink spotty fabric, I made a patchwork effect and added ric-rac for a nice finish. The red heart button finishes it off. If you like this, you can buy it on Folksy.

Sewing Tidy

Pretty sewing tidy in Cath Kidston original bird fabric. It has pink bias binding on the edges and can be hung up on the loop provided or folded away as in the pictures. Lovely and useful for the crafter yet nice to look at too! If you like this, you can buy it on Folksy.

Hexagonal Pincushion

Here are a few of my favourite pincushions.

Notice Boards

I’ve just made this vintage floral memoboard. The fabric is Cath Kidston inspired and would look pretty hanging on a wall in any room. Its very practical too and useful for displaying cards, pictures and anything that takes your fancy! I made this red star noticeboard for my son’s room. No pink or floralContinue reading “Notice Boards”
