As the summer months draw to an close at the end of February we have been having some lovely days here in this part of the world. Doesn’t mean we won’t get more hot days though ! The summer flowers have been so wonderful this season.
I have nursed the hydrangeas through the very hot days by using beach umbrellas as a shade provider and they have survived quite well, they are now in the fading stage and I love them also just as much
on Australia Day we had a visit and a good sewing day at my friends new abode. She has downsized into an apartment and taken her yellow and grey theme to another space successfully
Some of the little corners Marlene has created in her own special style
i have been sewing and preparing lots of things while I have been watching the tennis and the cricket over the hot days and nights and have another new bag pattern to release in the range ‘It’s in the Bag’ - this one is called ‘Sew Simple Squares’. A square is such a simple and common shape used in all of our sewing, I have had some fun making some bags in squares and some with a square and what I’m calling a tweaked version !
I have used some favourite florals and some neutrals to make these little bags and one I made with some various pieces of linen that I stamp printed myself with a pear theme !
the pattern will be available in my Etsy store very soon and wholesale orders are also welcome, just email me !
and talking patterns, Christine Vlasic and Sandra Boyle both have some new patterns that are also in the Etsy shop
This one above is ‘Metro’ from Christine Vlasic and Sandra’s is called ‘Nickels and Dimes’ and the pattern includes the template required, both are very beautiful scrappy quilts which we love !
enjoy your days until next time ,
