Gathered Round Fabric Basket...

Here's my latest project... a gathered, round, fabric basket, made from the same brown fabric used in my favourite drawstring bag... Fluttering Wings and Colourful Things, Cynthia Coulter, from Wilmington Prints.

Curved Seams Dress...


This month, I'm joining in with Rikka, over at Ricochet and Away, for the Curved Seams Challenge. I was keen to tackle the challenge, as it involved learning a new skill: sewing flat, curved seams.

Dresden Plate Library Bag...


This is the 4th post in the Library Bag Tutorial series. Today I'll show you how to add a Dresden Plate to the basic Library Bag.

Dresden Plates are not as scary as they look. My first Dresden was incorporated into a Retro Flower Power Pillow. This is my second.

Threading Your Way ~ Features...

Amazingly, I'm ahead of my schedule for January's sewing, probably because I knew I'd have to be organised if I were to finish all the projects I'd signed up for. There was no time to procrastinate and change my mind a million times as I generally do. You should see my desk, though... bits and pieces everywhere!!! Time for a clean up.

As always, I've enjoyed looking through all of the projects added to the Threading YOUR Way with Threading My Way  link parties. The only problem is, that I keep adding to my To Do list... LOL!!!

This week's features...

A very pretty fabric basket, added to the Drawstring Bags and Fabric Baskets link party. I love the shape of this basket and it looks very quick to make...
