Remember my bargain of the week?

Remember my bargain bag of Indian Silk scarves? I re-cycled them into a cushion!

I went to a Rag Bag Workshop at Alston Hall last week and we looked at ways of using up all our bits and pieces to make something new. I am very pleased with the result. My new sewing machine worked like a dream and I managed to produce this within the day. I have just been adding the finishing touches and it makes a fabby cushion for the bed!

I can see me using this technique again over and over as I have lots of bits to recycle!

Project Runway

Here are the dresses I have received so far in the mini dress swap.

I need a bigger closet to keep them all in so I will have to redesign something to hold all thirty!

It has been a bit like an advent calender having a little parcel to open each day during June and still lots more to go!

Back to crafting!

Here I am - back again - still with not much time on my hands but feeling much better. I am hoping to get lots done this weekend so you never know I may even take some photographs.
I have also started to open all the lovely dainty mini dresses which are part of a huge swap on flickr. Thirty tiny dresses - one for each day of the month made and sent all over the world. I am really enjoying opening all the envelopes and seeing what everyone has created. Pictures soon!
