@maddiemoate absolutely glued to you making poo 😂🤣 brilliant science lesson!

Hey guys. I managed to get some beautiful lighting courtesy of the setting sun this afternoon to photograph one of my two new Bertha cardigans #sewingbertha from the #makeitsimplebook by @tillybuttons I opted for both the pockets and the extra long cuffs with thumbholes. I get really clicky wrists and these are a dream when I start to feel the cold. . This lovely snuggly navy fabric is a Navy and Multi Coloured fleck fleece-backed jersey from @sewmesunshine.uk and I’ve made another one that you might have seen in my stories from a burgundy colourway too. It’s been super easy to put together and mostly done on the overlocker. I’ll write up a blog and provide some close-ups of the fleck cos I think it’s a lovely design. It’s so so comfy and warm, and in fact the reason I don’t have any photos of the burgundy one is that I’ve been wearing it non-stop all week and I thought I should probably wash it! 😆😆 The pattern book is really easy to follow, as are all of Tilly’s patterns and the end result is lovely. I think when I make any more, I’ll lengthen it a bit. It’s sort-of sitting on my bum, not just past it, which I would have preferred. But other than that it’s a total win for me.

Hmmm 🧐🥴😬

Fun little Sunday make. Hang on, I quilted?!?! What is happening to me?! 😅 . I have a few pieces of fun fabric that my son has made me buy when we’ve been browsing the @likesewamazing shop. He recently reminded me that I haven’t actually made anything with them, 😬 so we talked and we decided a pencil case would suit this fun print. . He has lots of buttons too, so the zip has a train running along it. (Swipe to see) Well, zips do look like train tracks if you think about it..! . So I have no idea about quilting but I found a nice little youtube video tutorial by @therealbluprint and thought I’d give it a go. . I’m rather pleased with it and my boy has already kissed the pencil case, so I’m guessing he approves! 🥰 . Sandie don’t go getting any ideas...! 😆

Just made the loveliest 1,000 piece jigsaw from @gibsons_games - isn’t the picture beautiful? I’m going to get it framed and put it in my sewing room 🥰
