3 FAVOURITE CRAFT THINGS





Jo Jo is having a giveaway for her 100th post. You have to name 3 craft things you cant live without then post them on your blog.

Mine are:
1. sewing compendium which contains my bits so they are always where I can find them
..
2. my Elna sewing machine which is over 30 years old - light as a feather, does the basic of stitches, but I can pick up and take anywhere. Has sewn 100's of kilometres over the years and still going strong.
3. my covered rotary board which is perfect for travelling or doing workshops - not that I have time I might add, but am sure I will do many when I retire some day. The back if padded so that I use it as an ironing ledge for ironing the bits, and on the inside I have felt to put the bits on before I sew them together.

FIRST PROJECT FOR 2009



I have just finished an Anni Downs project - her Wool Bag. It was so much fun to sew and I really enjoyed sewing with the woven felt as a different type of fabric medium. I purchased the complete kit from her Hatched and Patched shop.
so I have now labelled this as my first project for the -Project a Month Challenge
