Thrift find

Oh dear I don't know if I am very lucky or just crazy!

I was at a local thrift store yesterday and found a bag full of fabric and on the outside it said Quilt cut out and started $5. well what was I to do leave her there no way  so I payed my money and home she came BUT  there is not enough of one of  the  fabrics sooo I need to work out what to do either look for a matching fabric or unpick what is done and use a different fabric. What would you do Ideas please ????? I think it will be a lovely quilt when it is done

First finish 2012

My beautiful Family gave me a new phone for Christmas so I needed to make a new phone case for it

I grabbed an old sunglasses case[ the soft ones] cut it to fit and covered it with some beautiful fabric I recycled from a skirt I found at a thrift  I am really happy with how it looks and it is a nice safe holder for my phone

Hope you are all getting some sewing time hugs Beth

singer Machine case

A couple of years ago one of my best friends and her hubby bought a small farm . When they moved in they found an old singer machine case in one of the sheds .It did not have a machine with it but the draws had a lot of old lace buttons and other things in them. My friend is not into sewing like I am so I was offered the case of course I jumped at the chance as I had been wanting one for a one time .It has taken My Dear Hubby just over a year to do his magic and do it up for me .I did not get any before pics but here it is now It was very neglected and unloved before but now it looks beautiful

I have sat it in my front room until I can decide where it will live
I hope you all are getting some sewing time
