Sewing Machine Cover

Self explanatory.  Lol.

Cards for men.

 

A card for a man who loves making lots of wood shavings in his own workshop

and

 

A general card for a male birthday.

Why are they so hard to do?  Lol.

 

And a cushion.............

Double Quilt

Quilt made using the disappearing nine patch pattern.

9 squares are stitched together to make

This is then cut across both lengthways and widthways through the centre square.

You then have 4 separate squares.  The top left and bottom right are turned 180 degrees and then stitched back together to make

 

 

 

These are then all stitched together until you have the size of quilt you want.

 

Add two borders, backing and binding and this is the finished product.

 

 

 

 

 

Jelly Roll Quilt

A lovely friend gave me a couple of jelly rolls and an ideas book for my birthday.

The pattern is called Sherbet Lemon and this is my first attempt at quilting properly.

Jeans Bag

Have seen tutorials for upcycling jeans into bags and thought I'd give it a go.

Have really really struggled with the lining but I'm NOT doing it yet again. Lol.

Am pleased overall with it though.

A Canvas Clock

Or rather a canvas with a clock on it.  Lol.

A friend saw some paper/fabric on a craft stall so we decided we'd have a go ourselves.  It's jam pot muslin covered with pva and then has tissue paper worked onto it so it can be as smooth or as textured as you like.  Coloured with colour washes and spritzed with some glimmer mists.

My smooth piece I decided to use as a background on a canvas and then bits and bobs added.  There are three squares which are faux carnival glass.  One worked better than the others but seeing as though I'd made them, they were going on!  Lol.
