WOYWW...

 Here we are at another catch up with out creative friends around the world to see what they have on their desks this week.  It's such a lovely friendly group so if you're tempted why not join in the fun?  Just pop over to Sarah's Craft Shed where you will find out more details.

I've had another lovely week with sewing and have a couple of things to share with you...


I've been looking through my stash of fabrics and 'found' a bag of tired/old jeans one of my customers gave me.  I wasn't feeling very enthusiastic about cutting them up to make bags with them so I used a piece off 4 of the trouser legs and made this lovely little bear.  I wasn't sure how easy denim would be to use but I rather love how he turned out....what do you think?






I wasn't feeling very creative this week so I needed some mindless sewing to do.  I decided that, as I gave my last two quilts to the charity, that I would make another strip quilt....It's such a lovely way to use up fabrics that are left over from other projects.
It's nearly finished now...I just need do stitch the border now :-)



That's all I have to share this week.  I hope you've had a great week.  I will do my best to pop over to see what you've been up to.

Hugs,

  2. The denim teddy works well and was worth wrangling the fabric into submission! Lovely strip quilt there missus, you reminded me that I still had a half finished one in the cupboard so I got it out and finished it off! Great to catch up with you and Jo, it’s amazing how two hours shoots by eh?!

  4. The jeans have worked a treat with that bear. I rather like the look of that and he will be hard wearing too.
    The quilt is lovely and I am sure it will be enjoyed by whoever wins/buys it. You are a busy bee.

  5. The teddy looks great. I hope you checked those old jeans out as some of the older ones are worth quite a bit mostly Levi and Wrangler. I often feal that my creativity has drifted and I find it's a good idea to just walk away and do something different for a while. Take care and have a good woyww whatever you decide to do.

  8. Beautiful projects and I'm a sucker for anything made from denim. I love seeing it on quilts in among other fabrics and I can imagine it would sell well as bags too. Have a sunny week, Lisa-Jane #9, www.prettymypage.co.uk
