“Pocket Hugs” bag is completed….very simple style but but I think it would work well for a sewing project or two.

OPAMers….its that time again…where did October go to!!!!!!…..please remember to update your sidebars, and if you can send an email to either Kris or myself with your tallies, that would be awesome…..…

Happy Tuesday, take care, keep safe

It was another massive week at work, my little offside will be back in a week, so I have already survived 4 weeks, (and I am secretly happy with myself, as I am pretty much up to date)….lots of long hours, but it has paid off…

Anyway, its Saturday and I am ‘chilling’ and the best way to do that is sew…

Happy Saturday, take care, keep safe

Well done Jason…….you got my vote!!!!!

New Week….

Guess what !!!!!

I am normal !!!!!!!

well, in blogland I am anyway, and if not, it seems we all find it a bit hard to discard our fabric scraps and we all seem to have some very creative ways of saving them and storing them…….thanks for the stories…..….

Am I on my own!!!!!

IMG_1799

IMG_1800

This little bag weights 11 kilo…or 22 lb….this is what I call some of my scraps, they sort of go in here, as they are just too big to chuck out….!!!!!!!

IMG_1803

IMG_1801

and this…well they are just ‘leftover’ charm squares…

IMG_1804

and this…. just bits and pieces, not sure why these sit on my cutting table!!!…but they do….

now I do have other ‘spots’ that have really old fabric, colour sorted, I like to do that…then I have 'fabric stories’ that all sit together, and I like to keep my fat quarters together (only the current ranges, no old stuff that is colour sorted) and then  you have all the other bits and pieces!!!, you know kits, backing fabric, leftover backing fabric which is more than a metre ……. I really am hoping you know what I mean here…

Only a few photos have been shown, as I do not want you all to think I have a fabric problem!!!!!

So why am I doing this post, I just want to know if I am NORMAL………

please tell me your story…

Happy Sunday, take care, keep safe,
