Good morning all!
Today I am showing some lovely little items on my desk.
One of my college friends has a little sewing business in Leamington Spa and as things are at the moment she has been selling her stock online. So I treated myself to these little goodies.
The little cotton reely things are actually heavy pattern weights. I have seen folks using them on "Sewing Bee" and thought they would be really useful. Also I just loved the little rainbow buttons - not sure how I will use them but you can never have enough buttons can you?
This week I have been busy sewing medical gowns for our community NHS.
Our group have dropped off good quality duvets for me to transform.
This one was fun as the front of the duvet was a patchwork design and the reverse was stripey.
I used the stripe for the sleeve as it was only a single duvet, so not enough to do the whole gown in one fabric.
I think I might need to space out the fastening ties a bit further apart as I imagine this one might expose the nether regions but then all medical gowns are designed to do that aren't they?!!!
I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe.
We are all fine but then we are mostly staying home - just a food shop every 10 days.
All our good wishes to Ellie and Alan. I hope they are both feeling much better soon.
Well - I need to go and write a story for Ben now. He wrote the most amazing story for me this week. All credit to Maxine for doing such a great job of home schooling. He was so proud of himself when he read it to me.
Have a good week.
Stay safe.
xx Jo
