New Year New Projects



A new year has begun and I have decided to start my own sewing blog. I have to admit I have become a little addicted to sewing blogs, the girls that write them are really quite inspiring to me, they achieve so much in such little time whilst attending to families, going to work etc.



As all my Christmas sewing is completed, all on time and no IOU's, my thoughts turn to new projects. First cab off the rank are a couple of library bags. My daughter advised me at the end of last year that her current bag was no longer cool, so she selected some fabric and this is the result. Very quick and easy to do. This was such a success that her brother asked for one to start prep with, I found some fantastic Thomas fabric at Gardams so whipped one up for him as well. The bag has gone so I can only show you a picture of the fabric.

My next project is an adventurous one, a shopping trolley liner for my nephew.I'm using McCalls 5409 and doing the car version in red. I'm hoping it may help my sister do her shopping a little quicker as they say red cars go faster, we can only hope with an 8 month old. So back to the machine, happy sewing.
