WOYWW...

I know you will be here to see my desk today so here you go....

I fact having emptied all 10+ boxes of my material out to sort there is material in piles on every surface in my sewing room....to be honest this was first thing yesterday morning and after many happy hours oooing and awwwing it's now looking more like this.....

And...

 

I spent quite a while trying to decide just how I was going to store it but it's now been sorted into...

•  Cottons and poly cottons patterned
•  Cottons and poly cottons plain
• Warm checks and woolen fabrics
• Linings
• Shiny fabrics
• Linens
• Furnishing fabrics
• Utility fabrics for patching/darning and pocket linings
• Stockinette fabrics for dolly faces
• Smaller scrap box

.......and of course there are random pieces tucked in where there is room for them.  Maybe, just maybe I will be able to find any piece I need now?  I guess there is rather more chance now at the least. :-)

Just in case you think I've been wasting any time I have also, at long last, managed to finish the top I started for myself months ago and I have been working on my new Facebook page uploading some of my rag dolls.  Thanks to all who have 'liked' and 'shared'.....there has been a lot of interest in them.....and little Micky has been sold already.

That's all from me for today.  If you'd like to leave me a little hello comment I will call by at yours as soon as I'm able.

Hugs,

WOYWW....

Hi folks.  Here we are at another Wednesday when we all link up our creative spaces over at Julia's at the Stamping Ground....if you still don't know what it's all about then pop over there to find out more and join in the weekly fun.

I've had a busy week with my sewing...some for customers but mostly for myself :-)  I've now completed the 4 tops that I cut out a few weeks back...

Here's the three I made this week.....not very good pics sorry.  They are all pintucked down the the fronts [machine sewn for those that asked] and the blue one on the right of the pic even has machine embroidered detail over the pintucks.

Isn't it funny that the warmer fabrics all tend to be plainer, darker and at most with checked patterns.

Because of the lack of colour in the warmer tops I am now enjoying cutting out some summer tops in pretty floral fabrics...this one as you can see is pink and turquoise and at the back of the photo you might be able to see some lilacs, navy and other pretty colours.

Roll on warmer weather eh?

So folks that's it from me for today.  What you been up to this week?  Leave me a little hello comment so I know you've called by and I will pay you a visit to check out what's going on in your work space.  Have a great week.

Hugs,
