A day of sewing and FNSI

Time has been spent this last week working on and off sewing the tops and buttons onto the handtowels.  There were only 6 buttons left to sew on and this task was completed when joining in with FNSI early yesterday.


Here they are with the others that were finished off during the week.   All 19 of them now live in my stall/giftie box.  


Three more beanies were completed during the week and the pom poms sewn on yesterday.


Once the handtowels were finished 2 more shopping bags were cut out and a start made on pinning  them  ready for sewing.


After lunch I cut out and sewed up another drawstring  bag.    Not for me this time but for a friend who has offered to help me on my Christmas stall.   She is an avid knitter and does such a lot of knitting for the hospital auxiliary.     I  thought that the sheep fabric was a suitable choice for her bag.


This audio book is playing alongside the sewing machine.


Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all
