=================
So, work in progress is on my November CQJP block and here it is.
There are a couple of TAST stitches in there. Crossed Buttonhole
and Half Chevron.
When I was at Ally Pally last month I was looking out for a small project to work on while I was away and found a sweet little scissor keep kit on Sue Hawkins crowded little stall. I finished the scissor keep a few weeks ago but have only just got around to photographing it. Not an easy task for something so small and oddly shaped!
My other finish will be a Christmas present and it's another pattern that I found on the Popular Patchwork site. The Simple Sewing Companion is a free pattern.
There are three little pockets so space for a tape measure too which I shall buy in UK so that it has inches as well as centimeters! I should have put a little ruler in one of the pictures - the folded case measures between four and five inches.
So that is my news for now - don't forget that Friday night is FNSI, sign up here to join in with an evening of cyber sewing fun!

I like the sewing companion - clever idea; and yes, Sue Hawkins's kit, lovely. They are fiddly, but well worth it.
ReplyDeleteI have been waiting for your black and yellow block - it is looking great; very good stitches; I like the crossed buttonhole and various lengths of half chevron
are very nice :-)
