August Challenge

August is here and we are into a new challenge for this month...hands up those who are struggling to find something to make...I am too...I have changed my mind about 3 times so far.

some suggestions have been...

making a large ball shaped centerpiece made out of fabric flowers.

A stuffed fabric Christmas tree with decorations...see the one I have put on the side of my blog.

A square quilted centrepiece, not much different to the table runner but much shorter.

if you have any suggestions please share with us.

I will post more ideas as they come.

Don't forget that you can use any medium for this challenge, that should make it a bit easier.

Good Luck and happy sewing

Look at My New Baby

I am excited about my new baby...it's a Janome My Lock 744D.

we took a drive down to Browns Plains to a little shop I wanted to look at this morning.

well Hubby said "lets get an overlocker for you"...Shocking Statement from a Man, I know...

But boy what a man...well at first I just thought about cost and do I really need it (I guess if we get down to it I don't really NEED anything) so we went for a coffee and lunch to think about it.

I was looking at the cheaper one and He said no get this one instead as it's better.

well we paid and brought my new little baby home...now to spend a few days learning how this one works...it came with an instructional DVD and great book so I may be quiet for a day or two.

I do have a couple of skirts to sew up for DD2 so I better get Cracking...
