Latest Offering....

Ok, Until last week I had not actually touched a sewing machine despite going to a sewing class for a few weeks!!

I managed to create some more sock monkeys using it and then thought I would have a go at a bag!!

I also had never made a Yo Yo and made this to embellish the bag.

I really am pleased with the end result, despite the wonky stitching and I have also realised a couple of other errors, but hey I am learning!!

I am hoping to manage a few more bits and pieces as I need to develop these skills quickly as I have some fairs booked that require fabric work!!

Any tips on easy to make items would be most welcome!

And the winner is.....

It's Sunday and it's time to see who won my name the sock monkey givaway!!

All the names were written out and as I did not have a hat, I put them in a sock!!

Then I asked my DD to pull out a name and the winner is.........................

SALLY the sock monkey and eljay - aka Laura aka Fluffy Squirrel

Well done!!! Please send me your details so I can send you your mystery prize!!!

Thanks to all who entered!!
I am sure my next post will be about sock monkey's too as they have now multiplied as I found out how to use my sewing machine......will leave that story for next time!!
