Why you make bags of course 
Years ago I used to make these all the time I love them you can store soooo much stuff in them. Lately there has been a resurgence in interest in them & I have started making them again. They are proving popular chrissy & birthday pressies for many young ladies. 
No 2 are ever the same as I just create as I go on these & have had nothing but good words said about them 
Recently Kathie from 2paupers.com asked me to make some sleep masks for her with embroidery on them. There I was thinking some nice flowers or girly designs until she emailed me the sayings she wanted on them!! What a hoot they were to do. They are rice filled to enable them to be used as either heat or cold packs.
Well what a night it was, last night was our schools annual concert & award night. Soooo much hard work goes into this by both teachers & students, but the results are awesome!!!
Every year I offer my sewing skills to the class’s that my kids are in for costumes, props etc. This year I made 8 dresses, 16 sleeves & a 5mt curtain with the word Censored on it. Everything turned out awesome I feel. The kids really put the effort in with practise, making props etc so I feel they deserve to have great costumes.
this is my DD’s class they acted out the song “The Streak”
this is my DS’s class they acted out “6 white boomers”
Well done kids you were all fantastic & thankyou all for the choccies, wine & card you gave me
Cheers
Tina
I recently had the joy of going to town to spend a day shopping, now anyone who frequents shopping centres from mid October knows the Christmas hustle & bustle is starting. After a particularly harrowing day I came home to vent . Here is a link to my vent that became an article LOL
BE WARNED THERE IS STRONG LANGUAGE USED.
When you cross your childs/ren class item for the end of year school concert , meters & meters of fabrics, giggling kids & a sewist???????
A messy sewing room is what you get ROFL plus lots of happy kids, a frazzled sewist & some great looking costumes (if I do say so myself ) No photos yet going to wait till the BIG night next Wednesday & then I will share.
I do love doing the concert costumes for them after all they do all the practise & earn them so why not have good looking costumes I say. Everything I have made this year has been done with no patterns just scissors, a good eye & the machines!!!
Its my turn to host this weeks All Women Blogging Carnival
Welcome to my sewing room dont trip on the cords & please dont tell my husband if you discover any hidden piles of fabrics. If you are handy with a needle or machine feel free to jump in & help with the concert costumes currently on the work table if your not just admire the many fabrics threads & other sewing necessities you will find in every available space here.
