Odds and ends...

Recently I seem to have been inundated with little and not so little sewing jobs for other people... some pay in $$$$, some in lunches or coffees out, some are just for love... I'd like to be getting more of my own sewing done... and here and there I've managed to sneak in the odd quirky project or two...

 Tonight I decided to use up some of my flannalette scraps and make hand warmers... I double lined them and when the heat is warmed up they really do feel rather toasty! A 5" square and a couple of layers each side (I used plain leftovers inside) and press the opening in and topstitch and you're good to go...!!! Only 30 seconds in the microwave for 1/2 a cup of wheat... no need to burn the house down... the warmth won't last!!! My favourite are the Clone Wars ones!!! I'll show you some more projects soon...

... when I've finished putting a zip in a jacket for a friend...

My new logo!

Super excited!!! Don't you love my brand new logo! I'm totally in love with it myself! She is so noble looking... busy but relaxed! A little hectic perhaps, lots on the go... but it all seems pretty balanced to me! Totally in tune with the way I like to work. And I love what she's done with the simple style and clean lines. It amazes me how Natashia can take a vague idea in my head and turn it into something brilliant! So glad that I asked her... http://smeedesigns.com/ is my favourite applique designers... her patterns are just beautifully made... wait until I review her newest one soon... you'll be blown away! Now I can't wait to use this logo and get some designs of my own in print! Next goal...
