Day 5 sewing for myself

Still busy and working on my projects, pyjama is already hanging in the closet. Machine bag is almost finished, plus a lot more awesome DIY hebbedingetjes I made this week. Have to take some photos tomorrow after class. Here's a small cute in between stitch collections for my albums. Thanks to Sis. Martine for the pattern (Mini Precious moments collection)

Day 3 - Sewing progress

We're back to the sewing class this morning but not much to tell yet. It was a coffee and cake hour, and tell about yourself or what we did on vacation. We are happy to be back as always. Nevertheless I did some progress on my sewing project for this day, which is a Sewing bag for my sewing machine, It was not yet finished. An unexpected guest surprises me late this afternoon. However happy I am for some company, I am also glad when they say goodbye.

My WIPS for this day:

7 Days sewing for myself - Day 1

Can't wait for sewing class to begin. I'll start today for simple crafts and I'll do the last project I have in mind  in the class next tuesday. I'm pretty sure I could use some help from my classmates and teachers.

I would like to make these list this week. 

  • Celphone pouch
  • Sewing machine bag
  • Something for the home (new pillow cases, etc)
  • Shopper's bag/or perhaps a body bag
  • Winter pyjama/ peasants dress
  • SAL - Stitch-Along needle case/ cat
  • Bible pouch
  • SAL - Sew Along
I should deligently try my best, because starting the 2nd week of September I'll be working on projects for someone else. And of course its going to be cleaning and putting away summer things and getting ready for autumn and winter.

I'll make my first ever handmade CP pouch today, and start with my needle case SAL.

Fresh Start like a school kid

Started so early with my Domestic duties and now I am preparing my New september SAL before I go to my volunteer works. So that I can start when I come back. My Inspired stitcher's group will be making a Needle book. Yesterday I have no idea how to make one, then I google it and came across lots of beautiful sites. Have a look at this , pretty amazing what inspiration we could find everywhere, when we set our minds on it. zillions of ideas on the net. With a bit of our own creativity and what ever materials we stacked up in our closet, it could be real fun. Got to go for now, Its gonna be a long day but I like it very much.

Ending my busy summer with a HUGE CLEAN UP

Summer 2013 was never before soooo self centered than ever. I was mostly at home, I ditched the usual short trips here in there, I joined hobby clubs, I read lots of blogs, I've sewn lots of things for my own use. I made lots of apologies to people for not coming to visit. I've watched the full episodes of The bleak house and I will watched tonight the ending of 'De erfenis'. Two whole months of Staycation and doing things for my own is finally ending today.

Vacation is over and tomorrow I'll be back to my volunteer job, which is helping co-volunteers preparing things for less fortunates ones. I suppose,I'ts gonna be a busy day. Thursday begins the sewing class. I can't wait to see new crafty people whose eager to learn more about sewing as I do. Got to clean up this blog also, because I'll start a new september SAL on tuesday and from now on I will try to work on themes and schedules. Filling in blanks and holes of UFO'S (unfinished Objects) got to have a chance from time to time. And there's no other way to be able to do it than put it on the agenda.

UFO's to finish this month
