Market Day

A morning sourcing fabric in Shepherd's Bush Market, to replace some cushion covers that are looking a bit weary. Didn't go for these beautiful brocades - but the shimmering florals clearly made their mark, as I bought this vintage dress (£4!) from Roman Road Market on my way home.

 

Patchwork

About a year in the making... I've finished my patchwork quilt! I am hugely proud and have been sending pictures to everyone I can think of. I have collected fabric samples and scraps and also embroidered parts...

February Collage

I've finished my repair project, started a couple of weeks ago. I loved mending this vintage cardigan - and am now on the hunt for anything in my cupboard with holes in to continue the obsession... 

Piecing together some fabric squares for a patchwork quilt that is very slowly coming together..

Below, a patchwork cushion cover I made for Mum's Christmas present - using skills learnt on a sewing day course last Autumn

Fabric

 More fabric and sewing related endeavours... spent a few days in Shepherd's Bush recently, getting the step count up incredibly high pacing up and down the market. My favourite place! 

Fabric Samples For Quilts

An afternoon spent sorting out fabric samples, after collecting several bags full from a friend who was throwing them out of her studio recently. So excited to get sewing my next quilt!
