WOYWW....

 Another week and another lovely catch up with our creative friends around the world....we link up each week over at Sarah's Craft Shed.  Please follow the link and join us....it's a lovely group and everyone is welcome.

I've had a busy week here at Sewing by Annie's.  I have...

  • Shortened 3 layers on one bridesmaid dress and took it up on the shoulders
  • Shortened 1 layer on another bridesmaid dress
  • Corrected an awful job done on the shoulders of another bridesmaid dress [by another local sewing lady!]
  • Shortened and tapered the sleeves on a gent's jacket ready for his wedding in 2 weeks time
  • Tapered the legs and shortened the legs on 2 pair of trousers
  • Shortened a pair of jeans
  • Replaced the zip in a pair of shorts and
  • Patched and darned another pair of shorts
On top of that I have also...




Made a special frog for Sally [Harry's mum from the charity].  She really loved the last one I made so I made her one of her own and made this one his own cape like the one Harry drew.   She's picking it up tonight [and doesn't know about it as yet]....I hope she likes it.
Sally works so hard for the charity and I felt she deserved something special.








I've made 10 denim coasters for the HJT and tied them in pairs with ribbon.




I then cut out 9 more little frogs to go to the newly diagnosed children with cancer.

I hope this army of frogs, now I have finished them, will help in the fight against childhood cancer....I've made 36 in total.

Each child gets a frog to introduce them to the charity and it's benefits.











That's all from me for this week.  If you leave me a message so I know you've called in I will do my best to pop over to yours to say Hi.  Have a great week.
Hugs,

WOYWW....

 Hello all.  I hope life is good with you and you are enjoying the signs of Spring that are now appearing around us.  I had a quieter week this last week with customers but have a bride and her two bridesmaids coming tomorrow for fittings.



I have used my spare time to make a few more sets of coasters for the Harry Johnson Trust.

Having enjoyed making the first two sets I thought a few more in different colour ways would be a good idea...that was until I cut out the 24 backs an inch too small and had to recut another set!!!

A little annoying but guess my head was busy thinking of other things and I'm sure the other squares will get used at some point.




I have nothing else on my desk to share with you today so will love you and leave you for now and will do my best to visit all those that leave me a little message.  Have a great week.

Hugs,

WOYWW...

 Hi all, it's been another busy week here at Sewing by Annie's and I have lots to share with you.










I've spent more time sewing for The Harry Johnson trust and have made two sets of coasters this time....I may make more if I get the chance.











I made this little bear using a young man's nurses tunic to celebrate him qualifying and ending his training.






I was thrilled to be asked to make these two lovely bears for Lisca. She was pleased with the last two I made her and I really love it when I get repeat orders.



I enjoyed an afternoon with Phoebe and Lulu on Saturday.  They really love being creative and this time they delved into my felt stash and made themselves little 3D felt cacti....such a lot of fun was had by all.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit.  If you leave me a little message to let me know you've called in I will do my best to pay you a return visit.

Hugs,
