sew party saturday...


yesterday was the sewing party for work and we had demos going for bags, block of the month, kids jammy pants and also the kids could make a no sew scarf or no sew tutu...

i demo'd art journal covers and self mitering bunny rugs.

when i went away on the Bacchus retreat, i made two bunny rugs for charlies friend who was having a baby......i thought she had told me it would be boy so picked boy fabrics... as you do...i must have dreamt it but as luck would have it she DID have a boy :)

see i just knew all along :)

these are the ones i demo'd ....
i found this video tutorial here...






i then made these two journal covers using a really simple construction method from these beautiful new fabrics at work.

Beautifully done Jenxo.
Love those fabrics. Must be hard not to buy them when they come in. I can't stop buying paper, it just jumps into my cart sometimes and says take me home. I guess we all have a vice.
