My first Noodlehead Yarrow wristlet. Great pattern & as always a great YouTube sew along with Anna which was very helpful in the last stages. Note to self 'don't be lazy, use a zipper foot from the start!' 🤦‍♀️ Hardware from Purple Stitches Fabric Store

Sewing socks for a spot of Sunday sewing 🧵Starting work on Yarrow Wristlet pattern

Next up is some visible mending. These socks are my nephew's favourite ones so I said I'd have a go at repairing them, though as often is the case I discovered more worn areas so they end up being more darning & less sock! My Formula 1 Mclaren mad daughter picked the colours.

The darning mushroom belonged to my Grandmother & I'm a big fan of Erin Lewis-Fitzgerald - Modern Mending & Collingwood-Norris methods of darning so it's a blend of the old & the new.

After a very long break I've started to get my sewjo back with a bit of mending.

This bag was a bargain from Target about 8yrs ago & I use it for my cold water swimming as it has a zipper at the bottom to expand it's size. I'm really pleased that I've been able to replace the straps with these bright rainbow ones as it will give me many more years of use! Webbing from my fabulous local sewing & yarn shop Stitchery Do

Loved how my bought our festival themed party to life.

Having so much fun with my machine. The white t-shirt was my first attempt at iron-on & by the time I did the black one I was feeling much more confident. I also like that I can use organic cotton t-shirts. These ones were from the Conscious range Nothing is safe in our house from being labelled at the moment 😀

Having a little play with my & getting organised. There’s so much more sorting out & labelling to do now that building work has started but at least this way we can find things. Boxes are from Kuggis range

A bit of confidence & belief building for my daughter’s assessments next week. Getting to grips with my new I had originally planned to put this on her revision notebook but as I’m fast learning being a tween means you are very picky about your belongings!! Good luck to all the kids doing exams & assessments. As for the parents - hang in there!
