I have one precious meter of Fraggle Rock fabric (tell me you're an 80's kid!).... I need suggestions of how to use it? 🪡🧵

Our family thoroughly enjoyed celebrating my beautiful Mother in Law's 90th birthday last week! 🥳

She is such an amazing woman. Kind, knowledgeable, encouraging and inspiring. I'm extremely lucky to have her as my second mum. 💕

But what do you give a fabulous lady for her 90th!

We beaded her a beautiful bag with her church window on it. My daughters helped me so it was a family project.

I'm very happy with the result and she was too. Made with love 💕

16 fabulous girls in my Afterschool and Homeschool classes finished their hoodies this week!

It's been a 3 week project, so a bit longer than the other projects they have done but it was great to see their perseverance and engagement. We've had lots of FUN!

I loved seeing all their fabric choices! So many great combinations reflecting their personalities. You can't buy these combos in the shops!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well done girls! I'm proud of all of you!

Do you have a favorite pair of jeans that have shrunk?! 🫣

You could do what this student did and turn them into Barrel Jeans!

Adding in some creative patchwork and stitching to fix some rather large rips, they are now super cool!!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼⭐ Gold star to this student!

I'm delighted to show you London's fabulous Halloween Costume! Sailor Moon! ⛵🌜

Yes! She is very organised to have it finished already. It's been a great challenge for her with a lot of learning.

Using different weights of interfacing to achieve various textures, creating a padded waist band and putting a zip through it, drafting pattern pieces (we started with just a basic dress pattern) and adding trims to create features. 🪡🧵

London you are a STAR SEWER!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm so impressed with your quiet perseverance. And delighted you have chosen your next fun project. 👭
