Nan’s 100th
You can’t see on this picture but I bought some nice fabric with owls on for part of the bunting. It took quite a long time to do each letter, so I didn’t get round to doing ‘birthday’!! The balloons were a bit easier! I cheated a little and used a very similar pattern for …

Easter and Spring Embroidery
I thought I would get started early for Easter (I did these Jan/Feb, only posting now they are with the recipients!). I had managed to buy quite a lot of embroidery designs from JuJu at a really reasonable price. I bought some plain tea towels (Amazon Prime next day delivery is so useful). I have …

Embroidered FSL Hearts
These designs are from Designs by JuJu. I saw a fantastic deal on their website that if you spend $20 you got 16 designs free (most of these were sets, so multiple designs). I had seen these hearts and thought they would be nice, but then had to try and spend $20 to get the …

Christmas embroidery and sewing
As always I left it way too late to start making gifts for people, having started ‘thinking’ about Christmas fabric back in October I think!!

I did the smaller version to use as labels. This was my first attempt with fabric I had …

Jeans & Cords
How have I nearly forgotten about the pair of jeans I made? And even the cords before that for Milly. This pattern was picked because Milly likes ‘Mom jeans’. Although what the shops sell as mom jeans are not what I would wear! I find the shape most unflattering!! These weren’t quite right either – …

Embroidery – first attempts to design – including Manchester Bee
Having spent the money on the embroidery design software, PE Design 10, I thought I should try and use it. However, it is just as hard as I expected it to be, probably harder. I watched some tutorial videos on YouTube by OleensEmbroidery. These were helpful, but I wasn’t patient enough, so I dived in …

In The Hoop (ITH) Embroidery – Bunting
When I first got the embroidery machine I obviously joined a Facebook group to see what people do on their machines. I kept seeing reference to ITH without having a clue what it meant! I eventually found out! People make all sorts of things ‘ITH’, but I found some bunting designs that I liked. These …
