It's been another busy week here at Sewing by Annie's. We had the funeral of another family member last Thursday...there seems so many lately. I'm determined to make every day count.
Both Jo and I have been doing more sewing for The Harry Johnson Trust...although this year is going to be a little different. The charity usually has a couple of craft stalls but, because of extra family commitments, they wont be having them this year so I have said I will put our crafts out in my sewing room and hope to sell some to my customers so we can give the money to them.
I've made a batch of Christmas coasters [40 in total] and these are now tied into 10 sets of 4 coasters.
I love all the different tartans.
I next had another idea and cut out lots of these....Can you guess what they might be?
Did you guess right? They are tiny popper purses that will each hold a a £1 coin or shopping token and made into key rings so that you always have one when you need it.
I have a special Autumn sale on my Sewing by Annie Facebook page...there is 10% off for the first 10 to order their Memory bears and this is the first to take up the offer.
It's even more special for me because this customer has already previously ordered 10 other bears and this one is a school bear for the school I went to as a little one.
The last thing I have to share with you this week is an idea I saw on Pinterest. I never like to throw anything away so I have used the narrow ends of some ties I had left to make these 8 into key rings.
That's all for this week. Today I will be working on a bridesmaid dress that arrived last thing yesterday and then I plan to make some Christmas gnomes using the paterns Jan sent me through the post....thanks Jan.
Hope you're all well and happy. I will pop by to say hello ASAP but please be patient with me.
Hugs,
Annie x
