September challenge

SEPTEMBER CHALLENGE!

Inspired by your BOMs I have decided to add a little bit more of a creative edge for those who like a bit of a challenge!

Hopefully you have by now received the September issue of Popular Patchwork with the free pincushion fabric and pattern? So, thinking of a quick challenge… I thought I would ask you to create your own sewing kit accessory. It can be anything you wish in any fabric. It could be a needle case, a pouch or sewing roll- or even a pincushion (no such thing as too many pincushions!). It can be patchwork, applique or embroidery. It can be embellished or plain, the choice is yours!

Simply upload your pictures by October 1^st with a few words about your design and the winner will receive a mystery prize!

Like a few others.....I am about to go away so won't be able to make anything new.....but...... here are a couple of items that I use every day.......

This was a swap gift....from Simone at FoQ 2016....and I have it by my side all the time I am sewing...

And this was also a swap at FoQ....2015....(I think) from Di.....and again I use it every day!

And finally......something I have just finished for myself. A small covered note book......with the addition of a sewing bookmark...

It helps me keep track of all my quilting "to -do"s ! Best Rosemary

Hi Rosemary,

They are exactly the type of projects I was thinking of, pity you wont be able to join in! Love the sewing roll- what a great swap!

Here's to the next time!

Thank you Emma,

I'll see what inspiration I can muster!

Watch this space.................

PS Rosemary. those book covers are great. You can find them much easier when they are "lost"

Rosemary,

The sewing roll was from the secret Santa swap that year. I know because I made it.

Alison.

So sorry about that Alison.... everything else is correct...I love it and use it constantly! Best Rosemary

Hi Rosemary,

Surely your lovely notebook cover is suitable for the competition? Sue*

I suppose it could........ so please count my book cover as my entry Emma! Best Rosemary

I've had a fun day in the sewing room, my first in almost a month!

I came up with two items, one is an update of my original sewing companion, much simpler than the original and the second one is a folding needle case. I had some small circular Japanese panels in my stash and didn't know what to do with them so here's an idea.

Looking forward to seeing all the other ideas.
