Like Mother Like ....

After winning at Netball on Saturday morning ..... my little sweet pea (age 12) set about on a sewing project .....

She made this great drawstring bag (Tried and True!) in purple stretch denim ...
It was a tricky little design to applique.... she did a great job!

I only helped with the curly tails .... she did ALL the rest ...


I'm as proud as punch - and sew was Grandma!

Fresh and Fun

Busy, busy , busy - lots of sewing going on around here ..... Sewing Basics 1 Class - here are a couple of fresh new recruits .... this is Liz' drawstring backpack in elegant blue with an iris print applique .....

And the photo doesn't do this green bag justice - it is actually a pistachio green with the lovely French speech bubble .... great work Brooke!
Speaking of fresh ...... today's Sewing Basics 2 class was fun with some Scottish lasses ... the lovely and very clever Ann and Alison ....

Here is Ann's bag - bright and vibrant striped corduroy......


And Alison's bag is a cool and floral hip little number ...... great work girls!


Equally clever and lovely (though camera shy) is Nicole ..... she made a bag in lightweight denim with a lovely floral lining ...


This Swing Bag was designed by one of my wonderfully talented colleagues (who lets me know when I take too long a break from blogging!!!!!), our Yr 8 students make this bag as well!
And a little Coin Purse using Nicole M's pattern in some Tula Pink fabric ....

Well done Nicole!
All in all, a productive sewing morning ... what better way to spend a rainy miserable sport cancelled Saturday morning?
