Hi all,
I guess it has been a few weeks since I did my last blog post. So what have I been up to?
Well I made a couple of coats for my boys. I used black corduroy and lined them with a really cool tech print patchwork fabric.
I used the Spring Showers Jacket pattern by Elegance and Elephants. They went together really easily, the only issue I had was with the length of the zip but I fixed that by using a piece of ribbon to cover the cut edges at the top. I made a feature of it and used different colours on each jacket.
Then I got horribly sick with pneumonia and didn't do anything for about a week and a half. But when my sewjo came back it was back with a bang!
I played around with the Hex-n-more ruler and came up with this quilt. I love it! It does have Y seams but they really aren't that scary anymore.
And last weekend mum and I got together and made Sew Together Bags. I had a great time!
I went a little crazy with my fabrics and used a different fabric for everything but I love it!
Right now I am working on the Gypsy Wife quilt and I have some dress fabrics washed and ready to go...so stay tuned!
Bye for now, Jess

Love your "sew together bag", I have the pattern and zippers and all the other I things all ready to go. All I need now is a day or so to sit down and work out how to do it. I found a blog which hosted a sew along, and it looks really helpful. Did you find it difficult at all? I love your hexagon quilt too. Great design. And of course the boy's coats are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI am loving everything you have been doing, so busy, the jackets look great and love your Hex N More quilt, your sew together bag and Social tote, will look so well together.
ReplyDeleteGreat jackets. Sorry you were sick. Hope you are all better now.
