Hello all. I've had a busy week but, until yesterday, I had virtually no customers so I have been using my time to make bunting.
I now have a table full of jobs waiting for me...
- 2 pair of school trousers needing shortening
- a Burbery cost needing the pocket flaps stitching back down
- a referees badge to sew on his black shirt
- A panel to stitch in the front of a dress and the sleeves need shortening and
- snap poppers to sew onto the front of another dress to raise it at the front
As you can see I will be head down clearing my jobs this morning but I will then be making a start on other makes for the charity I'm sewing for. I have made patterns in brown paper ready to make a reversable bag, little poppered purses, glasses cases and a couple of ideas I've got for key rings....can you tell I'm having fun being creative?
On my desk at the mo is this little lot...
I think I've made about 24 lengths of bunting...they are each about 2 metres long with 10 flags on each and I've used different combinations of the fabrics for them [there are 2 different fabrics on each]....then I ran out of tape to make them with so have ordered more.
I'm selling each length for £10 to raise funds for The Harry Johnson Trust.
I've photographed several of the combinations and have got permission to put them on my Facebook page....which I will do soon.
As you can see I've been using my time well...thankfully I'm feeling rather better now.
I will pop over to see what you've been up to in between my sewing jobs. I hope you've all had a good week.
Hugs,
Annie x

Busy, busy woman. Hope the bunting sells well and raises lots of money for the charity. I can’t comment on Jo’s blog again so well done to her for your beautiful seashell blind. X Happy sewing.
Good job ! Your Buntings are beautiful. They are not something you see around here. Nor are Jo's twiddlers and I love both. Enjoy a good week Happy WOYWW #14
I think it’s great that people want things mending or altering, maybe people are trying to put less into landfill these days? The bunting looks great, hope the sales go well!

Well done on all that bunting! It sounds as though you have plenty of other creative ideas for your fund raising too! And plenty of sewing jobs! All keeping you busy! Happy WOYWW! Susan #6
Stunning bunting! Will you be available to personalise them, add letters for names? Just wondering.
Have a good creative week after the paid work
