Introducing Denise .. our vlogger .. direct from her hospital bed no less. This girl means business!
-
Love your sewing kit case!!! And hope you recover quickly.x
-
Thank you, it’s very handy in the car too. It has traveled miles with me.
-
-
Well done Denise, what a lovely way to take your stuff. Hope you’ll be home soon
-
Thank you, it was a short two night stay but the recovery is six weeks, it is going to get very frustrating if I cannot use my machines as I am unable to lift for that time period.
-
-
Well blogged Denise..gws.
-
Thank you.
-
-
Get well soon Denise, I fear the only thing I will be taking to hospital in August is my Kindle, but I have some fabric box kits that look fun with all the carboard bits cut out, so may cut some material pre-op so I can fiddle around with it while I am there … haven’t done one of those for over 20 years
-
Thank you, and I hope your visit is okay and you get well soon. If you do create those would be nice to see please.
-
-
Denise, I’m so chuffed to have inspired you to show your kit. Great idea, love the folder. Get well soon to you & your roommate/cameraman!

Have you ever stitched the pieces of your block together, looked at it, and wondered why it doesn’t look right?
When assembling blocks, the small units are assembled into rows first, and the rows are then joined t…

Great article & awesome video

Thank you Teresa – I’m always surprised that string piecing isn’t taught more often, as it does make such a difference! Have a look out for my other videos too.

Have a look at Abbie Anne’s review of the same fabric range https://ukqu.co.uk/good-life-makower-uk/ – She has made up that lovely bag pattern too, and it looks really great.

When you can’t get at your fabric stash properly because you are in between houses, but need a sewing fix, what do you do?

wow such an inspiration. i need to to go through my scrap buckets!
-
Wow, those mini prismatic medallions are gorgeous 🙂
-
The single paper piecing method for those made them a lot easier than I thought they would be, working that small. I’ll definitely be looking for other single paper piecing patterns now.
-
-
Love those prisms!
-
really good ideas! Thank you x
-
Wow, that was a very productive dive into the scrap bin! Great ideas, more, more, more please!

Thanks Sue.

Pfylis my Pfaff usually goes everywhere with me! But next holiday she will be at home, 10th wedding anniversary and 1st time away in our new caravan. I’m going to take some counted thread or cross stitch and hope to attract a stitchy friend too xxx

Perfection.x

So pleased you found Creasey’s. You’re right it isn’t our biggest but the only one in town. Happy golden wedding for August. Next time you are here, let me know

Thanks Jacquiel…we love Guernsey and may well return soon.

Lovely blog and glad you had a lovely time. Yes, I take sewing away with me too. I sew on long car journeys.

Thanks Denise

I sew pretty much everywhere! How lucky for you to find someone on the same wave length.

It’s a small world Mary.

Thankyou Alison

i don’t often go on holiday but I do carry my travel kit with me everywhere on the off chance i have a few minutes. don’t often get those free minutes though 🙁
-
Busy lady.
-
-
I always take some EPP with me wherever I travel, in the UK or abroad. If I’m not driving I’ll be sewing!
And I’m definitely sewing whilst flying as it takes my mind off the fact I’m up in the air!-
Great idea.

Sounds like a wonderful cruise, so pleased you found a like minded patcher friend.

Hi Sue – all I can see is a square box but I think it was supposed to be a smiley face – thank you!!

Like you I’ve kept selvedges for years, I often use them on fabric postcards to separate message from address sections on the back. Some I’ve come across have little pictures in the fabric colours (Lewis and Irene) and little quotes (Moda)
-
Thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment Suzan. I like the idea of using them on postcards – will make a separate bag for those ones that are prettier!
-
-
Thanks for stopping by Ami and taking the time to leave a comment. So glad it has made you want to save your selvedges!
-
All these great uses for them – I save the less pretty bits for tying up my plants in the garden!
-
That’s a great idea – I used to used laddered tights and stockings but as I no longer work in an office environment I don’t have a ready supply!
-
-
Cute idea Abigail. I make things with the ones I save but now I’ll be doing this too!
-
That’s good to hear! What do you make with them currently?
-
Cute small items – pin cushions, candle/mug mats & Xmas decorations. Great cheap things for craft fairs
-
Good ideas – will keep in mind.
-

-
I also wrap presents in fat quarters for those stitching friends and finish off with either selvages or ribbon, therefore nothing gets thrown away! Like you I think everyone knows to do this! Great to put it into writing for those who have yet to discover this wrapping method!
-
What a great idea to use a FQ as wrapping paper – I hadn’t thought of this!!
