Hello all and welcome to my Wednesday share of my desk and what's been going on here at Sewing by Annie's this week....and it's been a pretty good week for me...hopefully you too.

For those that didn't see the Memory bears I shared on Friday, these are the two very special bears I made for Lisca in memory of Graham, her lovely hubby. They were made even more special to me when I saw Lisca had shared a photo of Graham wearing the clothes I made it out of over on her blog on Friday...here is a link for those wanting to see.
In between shortening the wedding dress and sewing her 28 buttons down the back and prom dress fittings etc I found time to make 6 zipped and lined makeup bags for The Harry Johnson trust.
I had a funeral on Monday morning and caught up with family members, as is the norm at these events, and several requested my details about my Memory bears while I was there.
My sister in law wanted to buy some bunting so was calling round after the funeral. I filled my cutting table with all the things I've now made for her to see.
Whilst it was all out on my table I had a customer for a dress fitting and seeing all I had made she asked if I had any peg bags...I haven't made any yet but I have sorted out some coat hangers to make her one....and will probably make a few more.
I counted up the money I've made so far and already have over £100 in my pot so I'm thrilled to bits. I've now made..
- Reversible bags
- Fabric boxes
- Aprons
- Bunting
- Makeup bags
- Glasses cases
- Popper purses
- Key rings
- Pin cushions
As you can see, I'm being kept busy and loving it.
If you leave me a little message so I know you've called by I will do my best to pay you a return visit ASAP. Have a great week.
Hugs,
Annie x

I did see the bears on friday as you know but it's great to see them again. I think they might be one of my favourites. The fabric combination is perfect. Sending woyww hugs, Angela x9x
ReplyDeleteWell done on all the makes, a good total for the charity and stopping fabrics going into landfill as well. The little bears for Lisa are great, such cheerful colours to remember her hubby by.

Adorable little bears, I do love the bright cheerful colours. I don't know where you get your energy and enthusiasm from but I'll some if you have any spare please! It's nice to catch up with family that you don't see much but sad when it's at a funeral. You're doing a fab job with your makes - £100 is amazing.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,
