Huswifs

Sorry for not posting for so long but life can send us many challenges at times. Health wise and family wise!

While I have been away from Blogland, I have not been idle.  If  I don't do any sewing for more than a day, I actually get twitchy.  I always have some hand sewing next to  chair in the lounge room to make needle books or "huswifs" and I have just finished four with another three half done.  I sell them in the shop for $10 and they are one of those impulse buys that my customers never seem to regret purchasing. I use up leftover scraps from what ever project I have been working on at any given time so they are always different.

To me it is one method of  reducing the amount of scraps I have. However I could make several thousand and it probably wouldn't make a lot of difference.
But I can till enjoy feeling virtuous for a while.



So until next time,

Happy stitching,

Therese.
I love Christmas Club class. I love watching and sharing the process of choosing fabrics for the next bits of our row by row .





I have been encouraging these students to immerse themselves in the design and creative process as well as the construction of their rows.


It has been a real challenge for them and a step outside their comfort zone which is a good thing for all of us at times.

So until next time,

Happy stitching,

Therese
